Folks, I wish you all a very peaceful, nourishing, fun (yes, this still exists), and engaging New Year. Let’s all promise to go to more concerts. This is guaranteed to be a banner year for TGS, with our fixed/new TGS website! (use the link www.triangleguitar.org and check it out). The website will have all of our recent newsletters, which, as you know, have those cool articles and reviews and music. So brew up some coffee and have a good read. Happy New Year! Here are our remaining concerts for the 2025–2026 season: Rupert Boyd, Jan. 31 Marco Sartor, Feb. 28 Leonela Alejandro, May 2. Note that the Marco Sartor concert is just four weeks after the Rupert Boyd concert, so mark your calendar. The reception after Boyd’s recital will be held at our new treasurer’s house, so bring your checkbook. Ha!

Our next Open Mic will be Saturday, Feb. 21, at noon at Noodle 501 at 5319 New Hope Commons Drive, No. 104, Durham 27707; 919 496-4058; website: noodle501nc.com. The TGS board is proud to welcome our newest board member, Sharon Palsha. For too many years, we have been an all-guys club, and this is a nice change. Thank you, Sharon! Sharon and her husband, Jake, have hosted a few concerts and many parties at their lovely house, and we do appreciate this. Folks, we still need fine intimate guitar music that touches us and nourishes us to find a moment, however brief, to experience blissful special moments of uninterrupted pleasant sounds of TGS guitar concerts. Invite all of your friends to our next show.
