Chers Amis!

On Web Feb 27, 2019, Robert Krumm played:

> I'll be playing music with my buddy DENNIS STROUGHMATT on Monday,
> March 4 at the Iron Post in downtown Urbana. We'll start at 7:00PM.
> Monday will be Lundi Gras (or Shrove Monday), the day before Mardi Gras.
> In Cajun country, this day serves as the last warm-up, party-hearty day
> before Fat Tuesday.

> So come out if you can, bring your beads, friends and dance shoes and
> we'll pass a good time.  The band will play a mix of Creole, Cajun,
> blues, Zydeco and more. We'll honor the Mardi Gras traditions of old
> Upper Louisiana (that's right here) and Cajun country as well.  Expect a
> second-line medley or two, so bring your white handkerchiefs.

> The band will be DENNIS on fiddles, accordion and vocals; DOUG HAWF on
> guitar; GREG BIGLER on bass and ME on percussion, guitar and accordion.

Paix!
