Bill Ackerman Music Update

Dave-  Just a quick note on the music scene in Iowa City, pardon the pun.

Last evening, and most 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month a small group of us get together to hear the Burlington Street Bluegrass Band perform at the Mill.  Performances are from 7 to 10 and one never knows who will show up.

Last evening at the table next to “our group” was Paul Roberts, who plays on and off with the group.  This is not unusual, but also at his table was a former classmate who he introuduced to me.  It was Jackie Dague.  Later in the evening she entertained the crowd with wonderful singing and guitar playing, just great to listen to.  Paul Roberts and her also did a song or two. One would think she was part of the band all the time.  Janet Lackender was also performing, and is married to Mark Wilson, who is a permanent part of the band.  A great evening of music and West High attendance.

I hope Jackie sees it in her schedule to return again to the Mill venue.  It was truly a great evening.

Hope all is well.
