We do 2 shows each year PLUS Jerry Braswell also puts on a Shrine Children's Hospital Benefit show in February.

I try to get notices out about 4-6 weeks ahead of time PLUS a follow up a couple of weeks before the shows.

Thanks

Jeremy,

I am sorry you are not going to make it. We all really enjoyed your set last time. :(

To all,

apologies for not getting the final schedule out yet. I have just gotten back from a few days of day job work that covered four cities in Texas but didn't allow any time for music. :x

I'll get the schedule out tomorrow. The show is going to be a good one. Let us know if you are coming.

We are hoping to have "The Jewelry Lady" at the show this time.
As many of you know she has been kinda under the weather or so. She is doing much better, but is not at 100% yet.
She will have some new samples for the ladies and maybe some men.
We Thank you all, See you Sunday

Larry & Yvonne :wink:

Larry, thanks for the warning. If Yvonne is bringing goods, I'll try to find a reason for Audra to not attend. :) SERIOUSLY, that's great news that she is feeling up to making it out. :D

See you all there!

I live about 20 minutes from the FOX. I'll be there with bells on. Can I pay at the door or will I need an advance ticket?

This is a good time to ask... is there a good teacher anywhere near me? I'm gonna be needing some help getting started.
