Rock and Roll, Kids Art, Greek Food, Madame Modjeska's Arden


Right here in our little neck of the woods, the Sam Morrison band will be playing Rumble and Rock on the Party Block, Center Street Promenade, Friday, May 16 from 7 pm to 10 pm. In addition to their southern fired rock style, Sam Morrison band boasts the finest drummer in the Southland, Bart Robley. Hmm, seems a bit prejudicial there CW....yep. Bart rocks, and he's teaching my drummer-boy teen to rock, and I am really looking forward to this event. Hope to see y'all there. www.myspace.com/thesammorrisonband
