HI FOLKS
It‘s RAYS CHAT Eighty SEVEN.
So We still cannot meet for our Folk Club: And I for one, are missing it like Crazy:
Had you noticed how the Music has beenchanging in Our Folk Club since We moved from the Red Lion?.
We were getting: Much more variety:
We had New People: Some bringing back the GREAT older Songs. And: and: We have beengetting Jazz, Country, Folk. Whatever!! And some Great Guitar Playing.. Something OLD:Something NEW!! And It was GREAT
So: I will try to ensure RAYS CHAT will be having MORE of that Variety.
And, So Let’s START: Here’s Your First New boy:
Put In:
Time Will Tell by Gregory Alan Isakov324
