[RhythmAgogo] Performance/Workshop at Nature City?

[Neil Jones]

Hi Candace,

I just realized I hadn't replied yet. Obviously, it's too late for us to
play at Seedy Saturday. If you would put out the word to participating
organizations who might welcome our contribution, that would be much
appreciated. We will try to figure out a date during the festival that
works for a workshop, and I will fill out the form.

Cheers!

Neil
