I happened to be in the Wheaton Library today, and I noticed that the library is hosting a series of free concerts, one of which features Jutta and the Hi-Dukes, Sunday, December 14, 2 pm. Apparently one needs to pick up tickets at the library for this concert, and dancing probably will not be an option, so I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in this, but I thought I'd pass along the info.Click here for more info.
