A most Wonderful Thanksgiving to all and how you celebrate it and a NEVER TOO late Tribute and THANKS to our VETERAN's, PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE!

To all our Dear friends of ROM,


     A short thank you note to one and all who have been so much a wonderful and caring part of our ROMulin Family. Our most heartfelt thanks goes out to our most recent and fabulous ROM Feature Licia Sky. Licia was a gem of a feature and I feel as if we had our very own "Licia in our sky with Diamonds", Thanks Licia for an incredible evening we were all treated to by YOU!!!!


WE do have a wonderful upcoming feature this coming Monday 11-28-11 or (ROMday) as it is known in the Church. Our very own favorite, "The Walking Minstrel" MR. Ed (HELLOOO Roslindale) Banatt will be our next  fabulous feature at ROM. I already know that Ed has a wonderful set already for us and I cannot wait for it to happen!!!!


I do want to mention some special &  important notes.


Harvey Rudman who was feeling a bit under the weather at our last ROM has asked me to let you know how important each & everyone of you in our ROM Community mean to him. I have had a ton of emails & calls to see how Harvey is doing. I just spoke to Harvey and he is doing much better and is eagerly awaiting to see all at our very next ROM.


I also just got a call from Ginny Gibson who has not made to the past couple of ROM events as she is so busy at her own Church. Both she and Harvey asked me to relay their wishes for a most wonderful Thanksgiving to one and all.


As I mentioned in our Subject line it is never too Late to Thank our Veteran's!!! I do want to say a special thanks to John Olivere and Roland Blair for their personal tribute Concert for all Vets and their families as they have with the great help of Stephen Martin by hostng a wonderful Tribute to Veteran's Concert which I was honored to be in attendance for at the most welcoming Catbird Cafe in Weymouth on 11-11-11. What a great event and a great group of folks that paid Tribute to all our Vets and their Families.

To keep alerted to nearly the entire immediate world of our Open Mike Communities I would highly recommend not only being an addition to any of our dear friend Ellen Schmidt's Emerson Umbrella as well as her Nourish Open Mike venues but also for more detailed info about most open mikes please feel free to take a look a t Ellen's all encompassing website which is: www.ellenschmidt.com/openmike.html

You will find more info there about open mikes than you thought was possible!!!

I do also want to throw in a plug for our around the corner neighbor Open Mike, the Theodore Parker Unitarian Universalist Open Mike held the last Saturday of each month. There website is located on the email linksection of this blog!!!

Lastly, it is absolutely beyond me where 2011 has gone. Our final show for ROM-2011 will be held on 12-12 -11 our grand Finale feature for this very special year closing show will be the imcomparable "Walnut". 

Please remember!!! In December due to respect for all the Holidays there will be only ONE ROM Venue!!!

Mike & I have worked very hard and have put together a Feature list that now apppears for your viewing pleasure on our webstie at www.roslindaleopenmike.org. Mike & I feel ROM-2012 will be absolutely fantastic and there are even more special events that are yet to be mentioned. WE'll be in touch so you be in touch and we'll see ya at our next ROM this coming Monday on 11-28-11 for ED Banatt.

My love and thanks to all, Always, Neal :)))
