Friday, March 14- Tommy Edwards and Friends (Blue Grass, swing and blues) Tommy Edwards and his good friends Keith Thomas and Alice Zincone enjoy lots of different kinds of music. Their repertoire features selections from several musical styles including folk, country, bluegrass, swing and blues. Talented soloists and harmony singers, they are also extremely proficient instrumentalists. Keith is an award-winning guitarist and fiddler who is also a fine mandolinist. Tommy Edwards was twice named World Champion Bluegrass Guitarist, and Alice has played bass with several regional bands. Since deciding to perform together, Tommy, Keith, and Alice have worked to accomplish three main goals. The first is to select material that is both meaningful and entertaining. The second is to make optimum use of their voices, either solo or in combination, so as to share the joy that they have in performing the music for their audiences. So whatever your musical taste, if you like great harmony singing with well played acoustic string instrument accompanient (with a bit of humor mixed in) you'll enjoy a performance by Tommy Edwards and Friends. Saturday, March 15- Off the Road Band (Blues, Bluegrass, Jugband, Rock) The Off the Road Band is exactly that, traveling the side tracks and byways of American music-a unique blend of many styles, including blues, bluegrass, jugband and good old rock and roll.

Beginning Wednesday, March 12 and every Wednesday thereafter, Guillermo
H.Escobar and Melissa Stausburg, winners of the Salsa Competition in
Acapulco Mexico of 1999, will teach salsa dancing. Learn this seductive
dance
from these award winning performers! 
Faced
with the urgent need to put up a sign that could clearly distinguish
the General Store Café from the road, a banner was quickly ordered.
Less than a week after the banner was hung, the wind tore it down, and
the General Store Café once again remained signless. Now after
a little over a month, our sign is back in business thanks to metalsmith
artist, Tamara Mulinix! Tamara Mulinix, a featured artist at the General
Store Café this past November, metal sculpted our logo, which
is a coffee cup with a red pepper on top, that effectively secures our
banner to the building. Come wind, hail, or snow, our sign is hopefully
here to stay! Thank you Tamara!
