| We are really looking forward to this event. We will be performing in the intimate/acoustically superb St. James Chapel (where FDR was baptized) as part of their fall concert series. We'll gather by the fireplace in the community room for a little wine and cheese first, and then proceed into the chapel for an extra mellow - but still swinging -
afternoon of Lo-Fi sounds. We hope to see you there. One caveat: Don't look for us at St. James Episcopal Church which is slightly up the road on Route 9 (we won't be there). The chapel is on Market St. in the village of Hyde Park right across the street from the post office. Big Joe Fitz - vocals, guitar, harmonica Robert Bard - bass, vocals Mark Dziuba - guitar,vocals | ||
