Thursday December 8, 2022. On a crisp afternoon and evening in Burbank, more than 500 industry colleagues gathered inside a large tent for the annual Band Pro Expo and Open House. Amnon Band honored Otto Nemenz for his years of friendship and service to the industry. There  was an A to Z list of exhibitors. The band played Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac favorites. Tequila flowed as freely as conversations. Yasu Mikami declared the barbecue ribs worth the trip from Tokyo. It was good to be back.
