Haunted Venue

Well, it turns out that I'm not the only attraction with supernatural overtones at my regular Saturday night gig. Though I haven't met her yet, the Cherry Street Restaurant and Bar in Galesburg, where I currently perform on Saturday nights, reportedly has a ghost named Roxanne as a resident. Here's a recent article in the Galesburg Register-Mail.

Art Works in Peoria: Update

For those of you who have been following my work with the arts community in the Peoria area, here's an update from Arts Partners on one of the projects I've been involved with.

Friends of the Arts,

We are pleased to report that Congressman Aaron Schock presented our Art Works in Peoria poster to NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman this past week in Washington, DC. In a follow-up phone conversation with us, Rocco mentioned that he couldn’t be happier with his new poster (which is going up on the NEA walls) or with his conversation with Congressman Schock, who is a strong arts supporter and has voted in favor of maintaining funding for the NEA.

Thanks again to our many local area artists who submitted over 2,700 images to comprise this mosaic image. Special thanks also go to photographer Doug Leunig for letting us use his photograph of the skyline of Peoria and to George Brown of Bradley University for creating the composite image.

My Restaurant Appearances This Week.

If you missed me last month at Tyroni's in Bartonville because of the snowstorm (I missed me too!), tonight's the night! I'm there from 5:00 to 7:30 PM.

And on Saturday nights, I'm at the Cherry Street Restaurant and Bar in Galesburg. I've got to say that Cherry Street is one of the funnest places I've worked in quite some time. It's well worth the drive up to Galesburg. Hope to see you there!
