Servings From the Cereal Bowl

Fall finally fell

While it's still a little warm during the day here in Tennessee, the nights are just right. Nice and cool, the leaves are falling and the year is almost over.

The change of the season brings a new batch of tunes to the show. New music from Fatcat & Fishface, Dean Jones, Los Lobos and The Bari Koral Family Rock Band.

Enjoy the show and keep on dancing!
