Hi, Music Scene (and heard)! We are a husband and wife team doing music for restaurants, private parties, and Senior Citizens groups. I am a professional entertainer performing vocal imitations and tributes to Elvis, Sinatra, Michael Crawford, Ezio Pinza, The Platters, Bobby Darin, and many others. We entertain at Toni and Jerrie's Italian Restaurant on Old Monroe Road at the Stallings stoplight on Thursdays (Sinatra, Easy Listening) and Saturdays (ELVIS and More) at 7 PM. The show is free, and the food is fabulous! We have several friends that are members here, so Hi, Rustee, and others!

Thanks, Walter, and sorry for the delay. Things at the Academy are going well. We have around 170 student (and just opened in August!) Our teachers are excellent musicians who have a passion for teaching.
We are nearing our first performance season. The Academy Children's Choir will perform on November 22nd at the Southern Christmas Show. In addition we will have other area holiday concerts. It's an exciting time!

It never ceases to amaze me how the intention separation of church and state is so badly distorted by the applications towhich we apply it. /shrug

Hi Mary,
Regarding the Christian band in Stumptown Park, I appreciate your input. If you're thinking along the lines of the Concerts in the Park series, a Christian band cannot play during that time because Stumptown is a town-owned park and the town cannot endorse a religious affiliation (the whole separation of church and state thing). If a Christian band plays at Stumptown Park (which they have on many occasions), it is because it is a private event.

Also, the bands that are booked for the Summer Concert Series are booked through a professional agency. The booking usually takes place in February.

hey,
i know this christian band that could play for stumptown one night.
their name is mono/stereo.
they are the band for central church of god and they do gigs all the time.
they can find an opening band if you will get them.
i would really like to see some young people up on stage playing their heart out, i think it makes the town look more family oriented.
their myspace is www.myspace.com/monostereonc
my name is mary debaggis, you can contact me ion my cell phone at 609-510-7983.
please give them a chance,
thank you.
