Friday the 13th!
 
Not that I spend a lot of time thinking about Friday the 13th, but it IS kind of interesting how they aligned in 2019. There were two times the 13th fell
on a Friday...and they were exactly
13 weeks apart. Crazy. For any of you who follow such things, next year the
13th falls on a Friday twice. Once in March and once in November. Then in 2021 and 2022 we are treated to only one Friday the 13th each year. OH....and 2020 is a leap year if you wondered about other such calendar nuisances. But the best suggestion I can make is to check out
the calendar at the end of the newsletter and find some great live music to
smooth out the ups and downs of today's Friday the 13th!
Included this week again are some holiday music events that are not all blues. Such a delightful variety should satisfy music lovers of all types!
Ticket sales for our annual IBC Fundraiser held each year at the 21c Hotel in Bentonville are now open. Please check the article below or visit our website for more information.

your ideas included!
