Rhythm Road the Johnny Rogers Band

-
Port Moresby, November 9, 2010 — Rhythm Road the Johnny Rogers Band arrived in Port Moresby November 6 to the enjoyment of local jazz lovers. Following in the footsteps of such musical legends as Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillepsie, and Duke Ellington, it is one of 10 American quartets specializing in jazz, hip-hop, blues and bluegrass touring internationally. The U.S. State Department sponsored the visit. The Johnny Rogers Band — John Rogers, Brian Glassman, Joseph Ravo, Daniel Mallon and manager Shana Bromberg — kicked off its five-day tour by rocking the socks of an A List gathering of diplomats, business executives, PNG government officials and members of the Port Moresby artistic and cultural community at the residence of U.S. Ambassador Teddy Taylor and wife Antoinette Corbin-Taylor November 7.

 Hi all it's been a while since I blogged.  Kinda got busy do other things and this just took the backseat, so I have more time on my hands now so I thought I'd return and write something. Alot has been happening and I really don't know where to start. But one thing that comes immediately to my mind is the recent Landowner Benefit Identification (LOBID) process that is in progress right now in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea. The  LOBID process is an important process to ensure the landowners of the Papua LNG project are recognised to benefit from this multimillion kina project.
