Why is this out-of-area item in the Mid-county Memo blog? We put this item in because Memo publisher Tim Curran has known PE&D publisher Bonnie Carter for more than twenty years and respects the work she does.
Congratulations on thirty fine years of top notch newspaper work and supporting local bands and entertainment establishments.
I (we) have been involved with you for your entire tour in one way or amother and its been a great partnership to say the least and needless to say, you’re the KODE BLUUZ Band favorite.
