Performance highlights & more

• October/November's reprise of Dark La Crosse (version 2.0)
• October 14th was World Egg Day, so I got to re-live the quirky splendor of the 'Egg Suite'.
• UW-L's jazz residency brought in world-class musicians, Carlos Henriquez, Henry Cole and the Rodriguez brothers, Michael and Robert. 3rd Relation had the pleasure of sharing the stage with them at one of our Root Note performances, October 24, 2016.

Lastly:
To properly wish you all a Happy New Year, I'll leave you with Auld Lang Syne.

Peace & Love,
Luke
