Adios Music in the 'Cuse

After nearly four years, I have made the difficult decision to cease daily publication of Music in the 'Cuse. I am no longer able to access the club listings and events that I have utilized to fill these pages, and do not have the time necessary to compile this information in any other way. I will miss Music in the 'Cuse, but feel that if I can't do it right, I don't want to do it at all. Thanks to all who have supported this page over the years. It's been fun!
