Say Goodbye to 2025 with a sing-a-long and pot-luck

It’s always nice at this time of year to remember and celebrate the legacy those musicians who have passed this year. I would encourage folks to bring a song or two associated with one of these people. Also , if you have lost someone dear to you this past year, perhaps you might want to honor their memory with one of their favorite songs.

Below is a partial list of musicians we have lost in 2025
