On a sad note, Guitarist and friend extraordinaire, Roberto Luti, is being deported back
to Italy, due to his visa and passport's expiration.We will be conducting a search to
replace Roberto, but he will be sorely missed. Hopefully, he can come back to the U.S.
soon and we will probably do our summer Italian with him.
St. Louis Slim will be manning the guitar chair for the time being.
