Labor Day Weekend and Rock N Roll

Where did the summer go??? I have had a blast this summer meeting new friends and enjoying my local music scene.  Folks, the summer may be over but the MUSIC NEVER DIES! And this weekend is a prime example. Get out there and check out your favorite band, check out a new band, dance the night away and support the music! Always remember to thank a musician because it goes a long way. Until next time...Music feeds the soul!
