Hello friends and fans,
Hope you're staying warm this winter. We've had either rain or frozen precipitation almost every weekend so far this year. We're ready for some nice weekends, at least!
Lucy was looking at the calendar after learning that the Native Americans (not sure which tribe, Wikipedia is a bit vague on that point) name each full moon of the year. We start with Freedom Day on the first, followed by Groundhog day on the 2nd. The Chinese will celebrate their New Year with the new moon of February (Year of the Tiger), which also falls on Valentine's Day, just after Lincoln's Birthday and before the US Gov Holiday, President's Day (which this year is also the same date as Susan B. Anthony Day, Nirvana Day, and in Canada, Family Day). If you just want to focus on the month, you can celebrate both American Heart Month and Black History Month. With all of that going on, we all can celebrate something!
We'll be having fun at a couple gigs this month. First, on Friday we'll join the Fine Art Ramblers for a fun evening at the Coffee Underground. Then a week and a day later we'll be at Downtown Coffee House and Creamery in Mauldin to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day. Red is good for either celebration, in case you're in a quandary as to what to wear.
Hope you have a great month, and we'd love to see you!
