But, if they all read and were put together as thoughtfully and elegantly as yours, I would happily read more of them.

New Venture from a Former Colleague

Gig this Saturday Night

Our one and only scheduled 2016 gig is this Saturday night. I may try to see if I can figure a way to live stream it from the band web site. I will have to do some searching around though I would bet that it is possible on YouTube.
