It's mid week (let's just call it that) and as the day draws on, thoughts of the weekend begin to filter in to our collective psyche. Well, at least I think they should! Since my last mailing, there have been a few alterations to our jazz schedule. Things at the Elmwood (Milkie's on Elmwood) are going mighty nicely, and that is in very large part to the fact that so many of you have dropped in to take part. Thank you for taking the time to join us! Mike is in the midst of remodeling at the old place, and later this month he will be hosting his ten days of grand opening celebration. He'll have lots of great music and events there, not the least of which is us!
The New Phil Sims Jazz Quartet will be filling in all the Sundays, this month leading up to the big shebang. There is discussion for the future as to developing a Sunday music policy that will potentially involve guest artists, as well as the NPSQ. So fun things are poppin' at Milkie's. Here's a posting of new and old:
