Frances,
One of the people at Tary's memorial on the river (she
had amazing pipes and chimed in with Orange on a song)
told me about a gathering at St. James' at 4:30 p.m.
every Sunday which isn't a service, but rather a
gospel jam. Apparently, musicians show up, too--among
others, jazz brass players. You said you wanted to
sing, didn't you, back when?
