Greetings Dear friends,
For tonight may I wish those that celebrate Christmas a Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas Day tomorrow!!! I do also wish to say Happy Chanukah, Kwanza and all the Holidays or Everdays any and all celebrations. I have always kept it easy by saying MERRY EVERYDAY as that is exactly how I feel.
I do want to thank each & every one of you that joined us at our ROM-2011 Grand Finale Show with our fantastic feature by Walnut!!! Walnut, I would like to thank you for a fabulous Finale show. I do want to take this opportunity to thank everyone one of our Features for ROM-2011. It was an incredible year and an always changing format! For those of you that have seen the ROM-2012 listing now on our Schedule page of our Website we have a ROM 2012 that Mike and I are so very excited about for so many reasons. Please do make sure to take a look at our website www.roslindaleopenmike.org for all updates.
OUR most profound thanks we do want to get out is to: all of you that have joined us at ROM as performers, as listeners and our very special and important helpers in so many area's! It is each one of YOU that have made this Community we called ROM so heartwarming and ever growing, we thank all of you for being the Foundation that is our ROMulin Community.
We do have an incredible ROM-2012 to look forward to. WE start with our Anniversary Show on 1-9-12 and as per norm have a different type of feature for that Anniversary show. WE are calling it our, ROMAPALOZZA ANNIVERSAY SHOW. The feature will be our very first ALL PERCUSSION FEATURE!! it will be called The Ken Porter Percussion Experience!! Joining Ken will be other wonderful folks we know from the Percussion all have added to ROM at different times, The performer list is still having some add on's, those definitely on the roster for this moment are, Rob Norberg, Tara Greenblatt, Tom Symancyk & Neal Braverman.

Please do take a peak at the websites links that I am always adding to my blog. If by chance they have changed please do let me know and I will update them. That also does go for your own email address's if there are changes please do drop me a note and I will share them with that dear and Most wondeful Host of Roslindale Open Mike, Mike Delaney who has always been there for everything and he is the reason the website is kept up, all the audio is facilitated and just all the musical blessings he brings to ROM each time he walks through our doorway. I must also once again thank The Roslindale Congregational Church for their never ending support of ROM, our home! Finally my sincere thanks to my dear friend from Childhood, Sam Schneiderman of the Greater Boston Home Team for his financial support and sponsoring our website and my ROM email address since our very beginning!!!
We'll hope to see you all next year and as always please remember to bring a family member and/or friends, both etc. We love talent of all ages!!!!
