[stylist] Love in the Spring

[Lynda Lambert]

Hi Jackie,
I would be very honored to have you copy it and give it to your grand son. 
Thank you! This was a gift to my husband.

Yes, the musicians were performing - it was a special concert - a fund 
raiser for the museum. Douglas is a jazz singer, well known in the 
Pittsburgh jazz scene. She is a visual artist and former professor as well.
