Surprise in Music Literature class
Jan. 18, 2014—After a long day I got to listen to a wonderful band in my American Popular Music class.
Blair Salon Series: Singer-Songwriter Night
Jan. 18, 2014—This is my second time attending the Blair Salon Series at Dean Wcislo’s House. This particular Friday night was just as wonderful, and perhaps even better, than last time.
