I can’t say enough about this Nashville show, which is a repeat of a similar show we did last October. Your best bet is to visit the webpage at www.OrleansOnline.com/Nashville.html where you can see pics, hear audio, watch video … even see a couple of complete tunes from last year’s show.

Now you’re armed with all the info you need to tap into some FUN in September. Hope to see as many of as can make it in VA Beach, Woodstock and Silver Creek. I’ll REMIND you about the webcast … so EVERYone can catch that!

PARTY ON!
