“One thing good about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” — Bob Marley

It was fantastic getting together with Flip Peters and Stephen Fuller, musicians of Pear Tree’s Learn & Listen series, last month for a bite and some pow-wowing for the upcoming year! Stay tuned, Pear Tree will be adding more tributes to the Learn & Listen series which has been so successful in libraries this past year! What a blessing to be working with such great talent!
