Update: Show Week!

More news on COVID

Larry has been told we have a second person who has tested positive, this weekend, for COVID. This person is not certain if he got it as a result of a Tuesday exposure or from somewhere else. We will still be going forward with the show this weekend.

Just for fun

Here is a fun video of Alexander’s Ragtime Band performed by a very young Bee Gees group. Notice the adjustment of the lyrics to play during an era where war was controversial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcROXLSZJ4U

At a Three Dog Night concert last Saturday night in Myrtle Beach, the show stopper was this song: https://youtu.be/qT8khYW8gkQ
