Greg Williams Walk a Crooked Mile Concerts

Q: WHICH OF THE BOOKS I TRADED IN DID YOU FIND INTERESTING? A: "The environmental planning, the cloggers, the Krutch garden is OK...but what I want to talk about is the concert series. It allows musicians to perform, people in the neighborhood to get together. We had a festival of Jewish music this year that had about 100 to 150 people. There are all these little communities and they'll meet around music here and that's really fun." Greg Williams, Walk A Crooked Mile Books, Mt. Airy.
