Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree

     

















The Professor and the Dancing Madwoman  had a wonderful Halloweeny time performing in Buster Britches' "Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree".
Thank you Buster!

Surprise!

Nothing like showing up to a gig and you're already there, hanging on the wall. That's what happened at our last gig in Petersburg. No artist name. No title. Just us in oil on the wall.

Gourds and Bellys

The Professor and the Madwoman were proud to host so many gifted performers at this Bellydance Cabaret; the Gourd Trio (house band), Poisoned Spoon, Ysabeau, Raihan Alum, John Bari and special thanks to Stephen Williams for commemorating the last day of Oktoberfest with a rousing rendition of "The Happy Wanderer".
