On November 11th Garnet Rogers returns

On November 11th Garnet Rogers returns! The potluck begins at5:30 pm followed by the concert at 7:00 pm. Please reserve a seat if you plan to attend this concert. Note that these times are slightly different from the usual times! At Garnet's request, please bring a donation (non-perishable food or personal care item) for the local food pantry. Thanks to his request, we started to make this a regular part of our concert series. 

If there is enough interest, we could do a jam following the concert. Any musicians who receive this and who plan to attend, let me know if you would like to add a jam. It was great fun when we did it after Kerry & Tim's concert a few weeks back. 

Well, the Sweetback Sisters were indeed sweet. What a concert! And they hung out with us until 2:00 the next afternoon and that was the frosting on the cake. Imagine making breakfast while Jesse played his guitar and sang in close proximity. Now, if I could arrange for that everyday, a decent breakfast for Bill might be more than just a passing fancy!

I have contributed to their kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a touring van. We had to use a shoe horn to get them all back into their present van - and one band member was absent! If you are inclined to back this project here is the link. Every $5 donation helps and, if by chance they have reached their goal by the time you visit the site, any extra could go to cruise control or nifty snow tires!  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/247060950/send-the-sweetback-sisters-off-in-a-new-tour-van/backers?page=1
