Down On The Corner
By Paul Moffett

End of the year, Christmas, parties, blah, blah, blah. Got too cold too soon, but perhaps we will have some early respite in January and February. This year has definitely seen too many Louisville musicians take their last bow and leave the stage for good. Let us hope that the new year will be kinder to the community.

That’s all the news that isn’t and, as usual, the music slows down in December and early January, but it’ll pick up soon enough. Be sure to not drive and drive or text and drive and not ruin at least two different families’ lives. Got it?
