Music sets the mood

If you're interested in music of the 50s, you know about rock pioneer, Buddy Holly.  At the end of the month, Rave On, a tribute album to Buddy will be released.  Artists like Paul McCartney, Florence and the Machine, My Morning Jacket, Modest Mouse, and She and Him, cover many of Buddy's famous songs, paying reverence to his legacy, as well as giving these iconic tunes a modern twist. 

This is an album all generations can enjoy. If you're interested in getting a preview, click here, as NPR is streaming the entire album.

Bring your good wishes and fondest memories

The invitations have been sent out by mail and we all hope that you can join us on July 29th for  the 50th anniversary celebrations . Rather than presents, please bring your good wishes, best memories, and finest stories.  These are the gifts that Bill and Lorraine will treasure the most.
