News from Tania Grubbs: It's a rare occasion when you will not find Etta Cox at Dowe's on 9th--she and Al Dowe work really hard to keep the club alive. Etta will be out of town on June 19th so Highland Park resident Tania Grubbs will be singing for her. Tania says "come one, come all to hear some really great live music" at Dowe's on 9th on Saturday, June 19th. <http://www.doweson9th.com/> <http://www.doweson9th.com/ettacox.htm> (Their web site seems to be incomplete, and perhaps out of date.)
