 SNOTTY
SCOTTY & THE MERKETTES??? Aaaargh - it's one of those weeks when I wish I
could be in 2 (or more) places at once! But at least some of these gigs are
within walking distance of each other, so I'll have to divide my time
between them. Dinner & dancing at CAFÉ 322 with MERCY & THE MERKETTES &
then after dinner comedy & entertainment with SNOTTY SCOTTY & THE HANKIES
down the street at the BUCCANEER are in store for this Saturday! I wonder
if I could actually make it to Firefly Bistro for Sunday Brunch with Barry
"Big B" Brenner & then go play softball? But, what about Mercy's Jazz show
at 322? And guess what? NEXT weekend's even worse! (or is that better?) Click

We're going to post
links to past Music News columns, not because it makes sense to post
outdated calendar items, but just so you can look up the name of the band
that played at that place last Thursday that it's driving you crazy that you
can't remember. Actually, we may also add to some of the old columns
by creating links at the blurb about an event, if we cover it and have
either photos or videos that we've posted for that event.
