Ross and Mary have
done a superb job of providing our community with a first-class
welcoming venue for musicians of all talent levels, and deserve the
thanks of all who honor authentic music. Studio has been
honored to give some excellent local talent their first time
"in the spotlight". We had the best food, best
drink, best atmosphere, best talent, and the loveliest and best
"baristas" to be found in Central Florida. To a
large degree, we were family, which was the way Ross and Mary wanted
it to be. The spirit and commitment never wavered, but the
financial realities of these times must be acknowledged.
And in keeping with
the feeling of community and family, Ross was not going to just
close the doors with no warning. He and Mary are keeping
Studio open through our next scheduled date so that no local
musician is denied a final opportunity to perform there.
I know that this date
is head-to-head with Rubicon, an excellent venue in it's own right.
However, I am asking all of the "Studio Family" and those
of the larger Central Florida music community who can to make
an exception if necessary to play a farewell performance at Studio.
I ask not for myself in any way at all.....I ask for Ross and Mary
and Robin and Tiffany and Jessica who have worked so hard to make
Studio the wonderful place it is.
Our normal start time
is 7:00 PM, but I will have all the equipment up and ready to go
from 3 PM on until ????????? to give any and all a last chance to
perform there.
In addition to the
normal Studio contact numbers, please feel free to email me at chipdoc@earthlink.net
or call 407-857-0828 if I can assist with your performance options
or desires.
Please pass this
along to any and all whom you think would like to participate
in a fond and rousing farewell to The Studio Cafe.
Let's Keep the Music
Playin',
Chip Dockery
