    A Proclamation to honor a “Day of Peace” in celebration of the life of John Lennon

    Let us honor October 9th as a proclaimed day of peace in the cities!

    John Lennon was born 70 years ago and heavily impacts and influences our city in ways unseen as the role model he was to so many of us of his generation…. as well as the present generation ….and the generations to come.  Let us celebrate his life with a day of “Imagining Peace in our Community and to the other communities connected to us”.  “For you can’t have a violent thought while you imagine peace!”

    “On this day October 9th in honor of a man of peace and love, we imagine peace and send Love to all of our neighbors and their neighbors and their neighbors and so on”.

    Sincerely,

    Bill Butch R Baker

    UNFORTUNATELY, UPON REVIEW THE MAYOR IS NOT GOING TO OFFER A PROCLAMATION!

        The Show was received with enthusiasm! With nearly 500 in attendance the music was engaging and we heard a lot of positives from the fans in the audience. As a result we have a number of new fans signed up on the mailing list.  The Lightning storm closed the show early and we missed presenting Piece of My Heart! Oh Drat!
