Last Extra Credit Question:
The question is the same as last week's. Look at last week's entry and here is a hint - check out the personnel for the band - that will help you figure out why I like this group.
Recital, Sunday, May 17, 4:00pm
I am playing in a recital at Broadway United Methodist Church, at 29th and Broadway in Indianapolis. You are all invited to attend. I will be playing "Spring" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The concert is in the Chapel and is free and open to the public. Hope you can attend.
