News from Mel and Vinnie:

We have a few projects this winter so our open mic schedule will be spontaneous.  Two fun open mics are the same night, Thursday (South Shores Tavern in Lake Worth and The Living Room in Boynton Beach). Thursday is also the night the Lake Worth Peddlers ride from the parking lot at Bryant Park and Lake Ave, meeting up at 5:30 riding at 6 (except this next week or so when we ride the neighborhoods caroling adding extra days, leaving at 6:30 and one day when we meet at the shuffleboard courts)  We are always ready for an informal home based song circle so give us a call when it’s happening and we’ll try to come.  The Friday after Thanksgiving we played 1-7 at Benny’s on the Beach, it was a last minute fill-in.  Thanks AJ and Lisa for coming out, hanging and helping us load out and in back home.
