Susquehanna Valley NEWS By Keith Hummel August is here, and with the end of August comes Labor Day, the official end of summer. Soon musicians will move indoors for their music making. I must say with the hot, humid rainy summer playing outside was not fun. I do look to September as I have three outside festivals to work, so I know it will be a cool time in more ways than one. No news sent to me accept what Robin has sent me. This is one of the reason’s I’m hanging up my pen next month. I’m not a computer person so I don’t go there for info. I rely on people sending me news and views. So without input —no output. Also my time keeps getting
18
scarce at print time, as it is this month. I’ve got an hour or two to get this together to get to Robin. I’ve not spoken to Robin yet to see if anyone contacted her about taking over covering our music area (Selinsgrove, Sunbury, Northumberland, Williamsport, Danville and beyond). If you’re a lover of live local music and enjoy writing contact her at 717-444-2423 or email her at Rnoll@pamusician.net. I will tell you next month’s article will probably be longer than Jim Price’s. Get more pages ready, Robin! Tubby’s in Duncannon fires off August on Thursday the 1st with a show including: Nonpoint, Adrian Blitzer, Surrender the Fall and Broken Fayth. Tickets are $15.
