 FREE CONCERT #2: Live Gypsy Jazz and Western Swing!
Sponsored by ArtsNet, The MasterWorks Concert Series

Saturday, June 6, 2009 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Location:  Rosebud Park in Richland Hills

The Texas Gypsies have an eclectic sound, combining Gypsy jazz with Western swing, as well as their own unique take on pop and jazz standards (with a look evocative of the ’30s and ’40s). The group features two guitars, violin and bass. The music is at once earthy and sophisticated, appealing to a wide audience. This isn’t music for jazz purists — this music makes you feel alive.  For more about The Texas Gypsies, click here.

    Hey, thanks for reminding me of Fingerprints… I’ve always enjoyed them. And your blog is a great idea. Helping folks cope with tough financial times is a good thing to do. I referred to this post and linked to your blog in my latest post over at http://www.freemp3report.com, where I help people find free (and legal) Mp3 downloads. I figure every frugality helps, eh? Check it out when you get the chance and see if it’s something you wouldn’t mind linking to, ok? Happy saving!

Would love to hear from you ~ leave your comments here.
