Voter Lookup and Live Jazz to slip beyond

the rhetoric …

By Kathy Edwards McFarland and Mr. Joe Pinson

My bad, dear Readers, as Tuesday became Tuesday Night – and no mention of A Taste of Herb blowing great Herbage (Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass) and wonderful dance music from the Sweetwater Grill & Tavern patio stage. The South Elm Street venue, opened to the cool autumn evening, hosted a large crowd of regulars, newbies and a biker club. The band, led by trumpeter John Wier, will return in November, so be forewarned.
