No show this week

So sorry all -- it's Thanksgiving weekend and the Campus Center will be locked up tight on Saturday, so there will be no show this weekend. What shame since it's my birthday that day & I was really excited about sharing some songs with you all.

"Music on the One" will be back in December, but remember holidays are coming soon, and I'll be out of town for most of them, even if the building is open on the weekends at all.
