Sometimes you have to make your own fun; when you do others join in too. Some folks in a town near me decided to break up the cold and the dark with an affordable meal and live music. The musicians come knowing they will depend on tips. Tonight was the first of this monthly event. It was a huge success. And it proves that a great idea will be rewarded with attendance.
The idea was that there would be no cover charge. Anyone could come and enjoy the company and music. There were two items on the menu with a flat rate charged. Drinks were extra. Some ate and drank; some drank; some bought nothing but contributed to the tip jar. All were welcome, none were judged. That's the way things should be.
It was a great time. If you happen to be in Langley, Washington on February 20, 2014, stop in at the Braeburn Restaurant (

Jim Page and Timothy Hull were the musicians tonight.
http://www.timothyhull.org I don't have a web site for Jim Page, if anyone can help me out there, you can find him in Seattle, WA.
It's amazing what you can find, if you're looking in the right direction.
