Gaye!

We had a sold out crowd (that means 70) for our concert Saturday night. Gaye Adegbalola is a founding member of 'Saffire - The Uppity Blueswomen', as well as a solo artist of note. The blues is her speciality and her latest album, "No Shame", is a journey through a variety of blues styles, from New Orleans to Chicago to the Piedmont. Her original and very personal music has a lot of support here in Fredericksburg and she was joined this night by Roddy Barnes on keyboard and Resa Gibbs doing backing vocals. It was a magic night. Gaye led everyone in a beautiful version of "Silent Night" to end the evening.

That was a delicious evening, in many ways. Ending with "Silent Night" set the tone for a wonderful holiday season. Thank you, Dan, for hosting these fine events.
