Here's to hoping everyone enjoyed yesterday's Thanksgiving Holiday and that whether it is a day of rest, a day of work....or a day of shopping, you are enjoying "Black Friday!"
Last week's "Evening With Bob Margolin" event was a huge success! For those who were able to attend, you will confirm the audience was treated to an awesome evening of true blues. Don't miss the article below with photos from last week's event. Also, as described in an article below, we will soon be in the midst of election season for the Ozark Blues Society Board of Directors.
