“ Music gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything…” PLATO

Lots of great musicians were born in February…Eva Cassidy on Feb 2nd, Johnny Cash on the 26th, Sheryl Crow on the 11th, Smokey Robinson on the 19th. Johnny Winter was born on the 23rd, Travis Tritt on the 9th. I’m celebrating all of them this month by getting out to support the great local & live music in our community.
