Al Mires performs at Cafe Paradisio Friday, December 9.
Thanks to thunderous clamor from my reading public, I’m back, and I’ll try to stay back. (Thanks to the five of you.)
A fond farewell goes to music venues recently closed in our area: California Brewing Company, The Savory Spoon, and Bricks Roadhouse. We’ll lose another venue soon, as Cafe Paradisio will close in mid-December.
If all this isn’t sad enough, Jack Goschke, one of the founding partners of California Brewing Company, died shortly after the doors closed at CBC.
Rest in peace, Jack.
