Thanks Kevin Joy!

The Grandview Public Library ranked 3rd in the United States... and they hosted us for a great evening of music last night. We had a wonderful time and I dare say it was the most attentive audience we've ever had.

Thanks Canaan for the great sound and hospitality. Now... everybody, go read a book.
