Chet, Spring Harp Fest is coming together quickly. Johnny Mastro is on board, as well as a full cast of local artists. I have one possible big name nibbling and am hoping to hear back once they check their social calendar. fingers are crossed, but we had a nice conversation.
Chet, I appreciate all the work you put in over the years and know I can count on you for moral support.
Thanks, Cannonball!
