PAYING GIG – DEC. 3rd at RAINTREE in UNIONTOWN.  (No ‘Light the Boulevard’ Dec. 4th)

I’m so excited. We have been asked to play at Raintree, in Uniontown, on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3rd, at NOON. (Call will  be 11:15-ish) They will pay us/donate $500. THIS WILL BE IN LIEU OF REHEARSAL THAT DAY. Mark your calendar. We need AT LEAST our typical Thursday daytime folks to give a good show. (We really need all of you! 🙂)

We WILL NOT be doing ‘Light the Boulevard’ on December 4 due to space issues and lack of available collaborative rehearsal time. We will plan better for next year!

See you Thursday!
