It's going to be an interactive performance and discussion. Charles is a master pianist and acclaimed educator. It seemed like a perfect fit to give the week an educational element. He is referred to as the grandfather of jazz in this area.

It was an incredible performance. It's been very difficult for Marcus - it's totally out of character for him to just control his pace and though he was happy, I'm sure he didn't enjoy the driving. You haven't seen the best of the combination of Marcus and the car yet.

I have to say we're very encouraged by our performance. Marcus is very happy with the car and was giving us positive feedback after the first two or three runs. The idea of this test was to find out where we were on asphalt pace and get ideas for the test after the New Year. We're happy with how things have gone.

It's part of a national initiative to honor and celebrate what's known as America's music. It's an important art form in our country. It got its history and roots in this country. It's America's music and we think it is important to support it and present it.

He (Rowland) is really a favorite in this community. He is performing straight off a tour in Spain so we are really lucky that he can fit us into his schedule.

I'll just die if that happens. They'll have to pick me up off my front lawn. It's so addictive. People are going to flip out.
