Hats off to Cristina's, for the continued great menu, friendly service, and for sponsoring the Sunday Open Mic in Strausburg, VA. Also to Leo and Co. for the great sound system. In the house for the first night back was an amazing group of stand-alone artists; Rick Harris, Leo Bailey, Lee Blanton. I was glad to be a part of the evening's entertainment and hope to return soon!!!
