A Sentimental Smash!
We hope you enjoyed our second annual Musical Revue in January, directed by Garvin Farr. The talent was just fantastic as young and old sung and strum their hearts out for the audience. Many thanks to our cast of creative artists, and to all of you for joining us.
Hear the interview with Terry Johnston and Garvin Farr from this morning's (Jan 15th) broadcast as they talk about the "Sentimental Journey" show coming up this weekend!
