10. Shout out to the community
This group is a delight to be in and a delight to hear, all will feel better
for it.
11. Dream Come True
Playing and singing with like-minded supremely likeable people. This group
is very
comfortable, it¹s not usually this easy for groups, that¹s why I was solo
for 30 years
12. Best Show
Easy, all of them
13. Worst Show
Only the ones not played
14. Most fun you ever had during a show
faux pas are always fodder for great craic
15. Favorite Local Place to Play
As we don¹t play clubs each venue becomes home each performance.
I think the Havurah is going to be a nice fit. In the past Carpenter Hall at
OSF
was a favorite, until they remodeled and took out the theatre seating.
16. Other Favorite Local Bands
Ed Dunsavage Trio, Terra Nova Consort, whatever the McKern Bros. are up to

Graphic Designer, Professor, Doctor, Actor (sorry, no bakers or candle
makers)
