Musical ramblings from the manager
Yes, go ahead and finish the lyric begun above; “are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do, one day these boots are going to walk all over you.” Some may hear Nancy Sinatra’s voice singing her No 1 hit from 1966. It was written and produced by Lee Hazlewood and entered the […]
Hold the phone! February begins as January ended with the exciting opportunity to see a deep space comet that last passed our neighborhood some 50,000 years ago.
