Admission to the show is free. But a love offering will be taken for www.umcor.org

A member of SVUMC has connections with the band Chicago, and they have donated several very nice pieces of memorabilia which will be auctioned off during the show, all proceeds to go to UMCOR. In fact, all of the fifteen or so musicians in this show are donating their time to this effort. Last time, when we did a Dan Fogelberg Tribute Show earlier this year, we raised over $2,500.

As it stands now, here is the set list for the show:

Eagles Set:
Hotel California
Best of My Love

I’ll be playing guitar and singing background on a lot more.

If I am completely truthful, I feel less confident about this show than I did the Fogelberg show. However, that show came together marvelously at the last minute, and our last rehearsal this evening was really quite good. I think it will be a VERY good show. The Eagles stuff sounds fantastic, and the whole band sounded pretty tight on the Chicago stuff too. (We’ve got a six piece horn section to cover the Chicago stuff…)

If you’re free Saturday, I hope to see you there!
