Hey, guys,
Quick reminder that tonight is the FIRST Wednesday of October, and that if you go to the Old Songs Community Arts Center tonight, you'll find a fun and fabulous Open Mic to join in on! So, even if you go over looking for us and some trad Irish tunes, feel free to stay for a fun evening of all different types of music.
I'll be putting up and sending out music for next week's Irish slow session tonight. Look here tomorrow for info and links for next week!
Warmest Regards for a Fun Fall,
The Trad
