Thank you all for a great October show! It was a banner day with Rockabilly Hall of Famer Billy Poore selling his book, Rockabilly: A 40 Year Journey, with sidekick Leslie “Bird” Anderson. Great interview with this interesting man to come! Also a chance to chat with Joe Vaccarino selling the latest edition the definitive book on local musicians called Baltimore Sounds. The day was capped off with a surprise performance by local Arbutus gal, Crystal Sands, who is pursuing her dream to become a country singer. She is a finalist in the regional competition in the Texaco Country Showdown representing Maryland. The event takes place Saturday, October 27th at Hershey Park. The Arbutus Record Show family wishes her the best of luck!

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for our next show on November 18!
