Performance works on July 2 is also free – my quartet plays there at 2:30pm. Rene and I are sorry we didn’t make your picks this time, but are hoping it’s an omission not a judgment! Cheers & blessings,
Jennifer Scott
Hi Jennifer. Unless I missed something (and that is quite likely!) I see you listed on my last post at Performance Works on July 2 at 2.30p.m. May have lost of some of your comment as not sure what you are sorry for! Hoping you both are having a great festival.
