March will be full of lions roaring out their great tunes. With this month’s line-up there should not be lamb among them. Be sure to be “Wearin’ the Green” in Key West and Marathon on the 17th, in Plantation Key on the 19th, and at Bayshore Manor on the 20th when the “Senior Lunchtime Concert Series” celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. The wonderful performers scheduled for March include female sensations, Melody Cooper and Libby York and male favorites Dave Feder, Mike Emerson, Tommy Tunes, Bob Widener, and Gary Chase. In addition to Irish ditties, audiences will be treated to romantic, jazzy, nostalgic, educational, and traditional music. Now that the Big Pine and Marathon Nutrition Sites are temporarily combined, there will be three exciting
performances in Marathon this March. This will certainly not be a lackluster month. So plan to participate and have a great time. Mike Emerson will break hearts at the Big Pine Site with his special style. Keys visitors and residents over 55 should take advantage of the fabulous free concerts. “Faith and begorah ‘tis true.” Please call the Nutrition Sites for information. *
