On what end is this broken -- Eventbrite? Why doesn't the image appear with the posted link? Here it is for the show this Friday, November 15, at Sacred Heart Music Center in Duluth, Minnesota.

From a recent trip to Pittsburgh for the annual AJHA conference. Side trip to The National Aviary with Paulette and Mark. Highly recommend.
