Summer (musical) jams Tuesday at the library

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 9, 2014 - 9:26pm

Tuesday, June 10, is the first of the Bluffton Library's "Summer Jams."  

According to Charlie Saylor, "We'll begin at around 6 p.m., but as we are hoping to be outside on the lawn, we may have a later quitting time than in the past. If the weather looks like it will cooperate, bring a chair, stool, or whatever suits you for sitting and picking, or comfortable listening and relaxing outside."
