Sorry to have missed another year!
Brenda,
The list of musicians wanting to perform is long. I try to work with both sponsor’s budget and musician’s entries. Unfortunately musicians such as Kim Pelote, David Duckworth, Julie Wilde and myself are not in the roster this year. I hope we all get an opportunity next year. In the mean time, I hope everyone supports this year’s musicians
