Another weekend blues event -- this one for vets

Yesterday's post on blues for this weekend overlooked a benefit concert set for Sunday at the Lawrenceville Moose (120 51st St.).

This one benefits a building fund for a program called Fisher House, which runs housing for the families of veterans undergoing medical care. Thye'd like to build such a facility at the Pittsburgh VA hospital.

Sunday's prorgram runs from 2-6 p.m., costs $10, and and features the blues of Ms. Freddye & Blue Faze, Bubs McKeg and Shot 'O Soul. Call 724-378-8926 for more info.

There's also information on the web site of the Blues Society of Western Pa.
