A HUGE thank you to all the great musicians who played at my birthday bash last month, and also to all of you who attended - I hope you had as much fun as I did! And my sincere apologies to Tony at the Buc and Kevin at 322 for taking most of their customers away that night! Stay tuned to the Music News for more fun events coming up at the American Legion.
OK - I hope I didn't miss anyone or anything... I'm sort of out of practice!
