Carol's Birthday Special (7.28.07)

The evening before Carol's birthday(!) and the Butler's 30th wedding anniversary turned out to be quite a wonderful evening. Music selections were comprised of whatever we thought Carol might enjoy. Hint: pianos, Beatles, Mozart, Celtic, roots-country (Buddy Green/Alan Jackson), piano jazz... etc. And of course, beers were in her honor as well (she's especially fond of anything British and most brews Irish. Not so hot on super-hoppy IPA/Czech Pils)
