   The BluesMen are a collaboration of professional musicians that have been playing together in one form or another for about 10 years. They come from diversified back grounds – both musically and geographically. Their common denominator? The Blues.  

   And there was food and other refreshments available as we have invited back Holly's Bar-B-Que - his food is always a favorite of the crowd; Also returning will be Khani Melton who is a wonderful Masseuse.

And we took a queue from some of those famous Hollywood haunts and from some of the hottest locations all over Los Angeles as we will have Gourmet Food Trucks serving their crowd-pleasing sandwiches and other mouth-watering menu items.


   Also returning was caricature artist Dick Kritchevsky, he'll be drawing whimsical pictures of everyone young and old.
