Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in getting this information out. What can I say? I am blown away by your continual support of Spotlight On You! Without your support, I couldn't have done it and because of YOUR SUPPORT, Spotlight continues!

I want to thank my dear friend, my October featured musical director Steven Ray Watkins, who did a fantastic job as always, accompanying all the diverse performers and music selections throughout the evening!

Next, I want to thank my October spotlight, the all-too-amazing group "Those Girls"! No matter how many times I've seen them perform, I always am ready to see them again!
