Wishing you all a Happy New Year! A quick note or two on the Saturday lunch shows
a) the start and end times are a little flexible based on the arrival of customers; b)
Steve almost always uses his National metal-bodied resonators, purchsed at Action
Music in Falls Church, Va; c) Steve may have musical guests and the chances are
these guest appearances will not make this list - you will just have to be there!
