Well, I play many instruments, though I don't play all of them very well. Guitar is definitely my primary instrument. I also play a bit of mandolin and banjo. Back at Bluffton High School, I was quite an adept trumpeter, but my chops aren't nearly what they used to be. I've started to learn to play the drums recently; it is really fun to hit things and call it music.
What was the first one you played? How old? Did the Gundy family have its own band?
Bluffton Public Library will host an after-hours "whodunit" Murder in the Stacks fundraiser on Friday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 p.m.
A cast of eight directed by Pat Rodabaugh will provide a fun-filled evening. "Watch as the mystery unravels before your eyes. We will need your help to figure out who commits a murder in the quiet town of Bluffton!" said youth services coordinator Rikki Steingass.
"Enjoy live music as you search for clues. Indulge in delicious appetizers and sumptuous desserts throughout the evening."
Chief Jon Kinn and the members of the Bluffton Fire Department would like to express our deepest appreciation for all of the Bluffton community for attending our recent open house held at the fire station.
We would like to thank everyone who came out to enjoy our chili lunch and demonstrations throughout the day to help make the day a success. At the completion of the open house, we raffled off a quilt that was won by Linda Rumer. The proceeds from both the chili lunch and quilt raffle will be used for training and equipment costs.
