2025 March 1st -  We celebrated Sandra's birthday by doing what she loves to do……perform live music! Eddie Owens Presents at Red Clay Theater was the location. The Roger Wilson Trio (Sandra is the drummer) captured the audience with a wide range of dynamic blues.  The trio passed the blues baton to Blue Velvet Atlanta, who added a layer of vocal harmonies and “velvetized” flute solos. It was an evening of double  duty for our drummer…Sandra Senn.
