Hey Rich...Good to have more NJ folks around. I'm from Moorestown. If you're up for a short road trip....about 50 minutes....we are having some CIGAR BOX GUITAR shows here in NJ. On sat march 28 , One String Willie, Shane Speal and my group The Color of Skies is playing at a little 35 seat place called the Barrington Coffeehouse. Should be pretty neat..all sorts of cigar box music. Probably a small cover but minimal like $5 or something. Come on out and meet some of us.Get there early, about 7:00 to get a good seat. Let me know.
Gerry
