Over 750 in the audience and several thousand dollars raised for United Way. Nice job, Bob! It was a real treat to play with our friends in the beautiful and historic Frauenthal Theater, and a special treat to introduce our friend, 2 time IBMA guitarist of the year, Jim Hurst to our friends in Muskegon.
He is a wonderful musician and entertainer, and the Frauenthal audience loved him. We are so grateful that he was able to join us along with our wonderful more local friends,
the Oat Bran Boys 
and the Hawks and Owls Band.
Naturally, we all ended up on stage together for the big finale.
On Saturday, we traveled over to Rochester Hills (near Pontiac/Detroit) for the Paint Creek Folklore Society's Tin Whistle Coffee House, a once a year fundraising event for the PCFL. We shared the headline with singer/songwriter Kitty Donohoe. The Fellowship Hall at University Presbyterian Church was packed with a sold out audience, so all the performers enjoyed a wonderful experience. 
Also on the bill was singer, songwriter, and Folk DJ Maggie Ferguson, and the Better Late Than Never Trio. The folks at Paint Creek really put on a successful event. Be sure to check out one of their shows in the future.Our next outing will be December 4 at Zellie's Opry House in Howard City. We had a great show there with John and Dan last Spring and we'll have them along with us again for this date. Zellie's is a wonderful old church that has been a roots music venue for many years and has been recently renovated. It's an intimate venue with the feel of a classic old theater, or it could be called West Michigan's answer the the Ryman. (also a made-over church though it is a bit smaller) It's gonna be fun!
