Youtube and I seem to be having a disagreement. You'll have to follow the links to see and hear these artists. I was recently introducted to two new musicial groups: Lunasa and Natalie MacMaster .

On Friday night, I was an usher at the Covey Arts Center for Thriller , presented by the Odyssey Dance Company . For several years, I have wanted to see Odyssey perform. Somehow it hasn't worked out until now. Odessey was fabulous! The choreography and dancers were amazing. Some of the dances were a little creepy--like "The Grudge" and "Home Alone" where a girl is home alone and a stranger calls, "The Meal" complete with vampires and victim, and an intense statement about the Salem witch trials.
