Saturday at Tradewinds
Tradewinds Night Club, 5859 Allentown Way, Camp Springs, MD 20748

I was not surprised that Godfather was the first band member I saw at Tradewinds, since he lives even further away from it than I do. Britney & Shelley, June, Simone, Nece, JoJo, BY, Archie Paige, Sanisse, James, and Peg Leg (and Charlie) were there.
