There is a benefit on March 29th to raise funds for the fish shack restoration project. The more people who attend the benefit the more money will be donated to the fish shack restoration fund.

Our good friend and multi-talented sound man, recording engineer, guitarist, sax player, singer/songwriter Will Hunt. Among many other things, Will does sound for Local Music Seen with Allen Estes, and on this week’s show, Peter and Allen thank everybody else who works on this show EXCEPT for Will! Peter almost forgot to thank me too 😉
Then, at the sold out Mardi Gras concert at Minglewood on Tuesday, Peter thanked everybody else EXCEPT Will, who gave us excellent sound.
Now, Joey C. remembered to thank Will at Celebrate Gloucester, so we were afraid Will might begin to think we don’t like him or something.
We want to make sure Will doesn’t get a complex, so we’re dedicating this entire post to say just one thing:
THANK YOU WILL! WE LOVE YOU!
You’ll get to see Will on Local Music Seen with Allen Estes some time in the next couple of month — and that will be a real treat. This time he’ll be performing, so somebody else will do sound. We’ll forget to thank him too. That’s just what happens with sound men . . .
