A Note from the Stockton Managers:  April 12, 2013

Hello Songwriters, Artists, Musicians, family & friends!

Hello folks! WCS having moved from Roseville is so much closer! Let's make it 2 nights in a row!
We had a real nice time this eve with a few new guest performers once again at Whirlow's in Stockton. Joan Garcia with her Best Song "Lost" performed vocally without an instrumernt or accompaniment & Glenda won Best Performance with her song "Bubbles" which included real bubbles appearing impromptu from an audience participant, floating & popping in front of the stage among our guests, writers & fans.
A job well done!
 
Please note the new Sacramento location is in fact much closer & you won't be let down... Kathy Rollins & Eric Chun are wonderful hosts of a very creative &  highly producvtive chapter.  
Any Stockton Chapter members interested in car pooling let me know by 12 noon.
My ship sails @ 5:45pm.
