The Music: December’s Local & Live Calendar
By Kris Youmans, Special to The Paper
So it’s been quite an eventful year for most of us. Lots to be thankful for, lots to look forward to. We get so busy we forget to pause & reflect. Make some time as we close 2019 to enjoy doing what you love & surround yourself with people who know & support you for who you are.
Music is one way of reaching people & helps to connect us all.
Locally, we have some of the best venues & unique music to be heard. Wishing all of you (& specially my musician friends) a Happy Holiday & successful New Year!
