Uncle Skid Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Lazaro, I've been meaning to tell you "thanks for posting" this info, so.... Thanks for posting this, Lazaro!

Lazaro Vega Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 You're welcom Skid. After many listeners requested the info in writing that they'd heard on the air we HAD to do it. Will update the Datebook on-line this weekend and include the concerts in the park series in Spring Lake, Grand Haven and Scully's World Class Jazz Mini-tours, which will include Arno with Organissimo again this summer. Yipeeee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
