Hi friends. Since the Skeleton Key Folk Music Center is shut down, I've been posting set lists on my regular page with the thought that more people might see them there. Due to various Imperial entanglements, we are now featuring "Street Music", "Thick Air" and "Elston Gunnn" at the Big Bear Mountain Brewery on Red Ant Hill (original Big Bear Masonic Lodge 1925 - 1968).
