Barbed Wire for Hire and Around the Bend – favorites wherever they perform – will be joining me at La Dolce Vita, Saturday, April 22, from 7-10 (pm – don’t go showing up in the am – unless you want excellent coffee while looking at the buns (if you know what I mean…); all the while sipping on your cup of Joe, toe tapping to great music on a Saturday night- hang over caution – may or may not contain drums…
If the acoustic guitar god and the smooth and sassy singing god (say that three times…) smile upon us, we hope to a visit from Mr. Mike McNeil. Patty – we hope you are healing up and gettin’ down on your dance moves…
There will either be plenty of seating. Or not. Hard to tell really – it just depends on how many people are there at La Dolce Vita, Saturday, April 22, from 7-10…
