      What a great show we had a ROM for Ed Banatt's Feature on

WE all did leave as Ed our Walking Minstrel has said he goal was for us to leave with smile on our face and Love in our hearts. Ed my friend, WE all DID!!! Thanks so much!!


MY thanks to to each and everyone one of you that peroformed at ROM that night as well those of you that came simply to be part of this incredible and wonderful COMMUNITY, in place because of  YOU!!!! There would be NO ROM without all of you  & your imput. Our hope as we look forward to very Final Feature for our ROM-2011 Season this coming Monday 12-12-11 when our feature will be the multi-talented "Walnut" to many of his older dear friends and we number large in the "Old friends" category or now with the Release of his Fabulous New CD entitled "LOVE IS IN YOUR FACE". Walnut has opened his audience appeal to an even greater level than he has always has as his doorway to. One of the item of great  importance Walnut has successfully done on the part of this authors writing is to open that door to a culture, in this case "Hip Hop" music poetry, to Walnut's philosophy of about what so many people do in fact miss. Walnut does say " What Better a way to have them understand the Hip Hop culture than to have them be a part of the culture itself" After over 3 years of putting this CD together Walnut has taken pieces of ALL of our many Multi-cultural, Multi-ethnic and multi National Cultures that make up this wonderful Community of ours open mike families come and join us Monday at ROM 12-12-11!!!! 
                      Please remember we only hold 1 ROM in December


Mike & I have what we feel will a an incredible year of  most wonderful Features but also the most important part in our lives is to meet and greet new faces to our doorway at ROM. Please do pass the word about ROM to frriends and family of all ages, as well as the many other Open Mikes and performers represented by my very infrequent Blog. Please see our ROM website for some of the incredible features already on our website for all of ROM- 2012. It is going to be a fun year with some ever changing idea's on our part.  After a meeting with the Church board this past Sunday, we will be beginning something Mike and I had spoken about for a while now but now with the permission of the Church  board we now have the use of the entire church for what we will be pursuing as part of our upcoming Roslindale Open Mike Concert Series. These will need to be events to help raise some monies for this very special Roslindale Congregational Church. Nothing in place at this point but please do all you can to join us to these special weekend Venues once they are adverttised as we will have a seating limit and you will want to join us and puchase tix as this will be Fundraising for this Church our Home of ROM!!!


If by chance my "Infrequent Blog" does NOT appear before the begining of the Holiday Season. Mike & I wish you all a most wonderful, Happy, Safe and Healthy Holiday Season.
