On more than one occasion yours truly has had the wonderful opportunity to witness what goes on at this locale last year and allow me to tell you! It was quite the occasion! Although the music on each particular night was neither the sort that I'd venture out of my way to purchase nor witness, these performances were wholeheartedly the type that makes one wonder, Gee! What took me so long to experience them in the first place? We're not guaranteeing that they'll be your cup of tea but they're definitely worth investigating at least once.
