Greetings!
Today I am stranded at home because of the snow yesterday. Hmmmmm. Well, there's lots going on around here - don't miss anything.

Enjoy!

Live Music at the Museum
presents the first concert of 2019

March 27 from 7pm - 9pm

In 1967, gifted teenage singer-songwriter, John Batdorf, broke free from his Middle American upbringing and ventured to Los Angeles, crammed in a Lincoln Continental with six of his friends, to pursue his musical aspirations. Four decades later, the dream machine is long gone, but John is still on the path, navigating the curves of his musical journey with aplomb. He’s also a successful film and TV composer, session vocalist, and inspirational musician.
