We're listening to Soren Green's set list in advance of his 9/11/26 concert at St. Mark's Cathedral (7:30 pm), and now so can you!

Until then, we hope you enjoy this Q &A with a staple of the local guitar scene as much as we did. See you on 9/11 for this very special commemorative event!

Bob won the guitar!!! Last night's concert and guitar auction for Sergio Frias was not just an event, it was the start of a new life for Bob and his new S.F. Papenfuss guitar. Bob arrived at All Saints Episcopal as the owner of one guitar. By the end of the night... in his own words..."Now I have TWO!"

Look for a recap and event photos in next week's newsletter. What a night!
