These musicians aren't just good, like good for their age level (although they are), these musicians are GOOD, period!

Been hearing some nice feedback from a couple of restaurants who have noticed an increase in traffic as a direct result.....isn't that fabulous?

Thanks, Diane for coming--I need to meet you!

Please everyone spread the word--!
That's great Ruthie! All you can ask for with a new event is to have increased attendance from week to week. That local restaurants are noticing an increase in business is, indeed, fabulous.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

Diane-

Ruth will be at the next concert, so just go to the card table where T-shirts are being sold and introduce yourself. Ruth and Barb are usually there.

WOW!

Tonight was my first opportunity to stop by Band2together. The boys were definitely good but the lead singer for Venus (is she really only 13?) was truly amazing - just like having our very own Grace Slick.

The Koenigsmarks were there, quietly running the show and selling some shirts and Rhonda was snapping pix like crazy. Seems to me there were a couple of hundred listeners - of all ages - when I left, and everyone was movin' to the beat.

Ruthie - what a GREAT summer Friday night event this is. May you enjoy continued success and enthusiasm for all the future Fridays and summers to come!
