The Music Settlement's first performance at the Bob Stop occurred on Sunday, February 23rd with two of the best jazz fans in attendance, Ron Busch and Anita Nonneman. Performing on stage were students who receive scholarships from funds contributed from donors who were also in attendance. Like every Music Settlement performance that I have attended, the music that their students play is nothing short of AMAZING. It is one thing to appreciate and enjoy the melodies from a skilled performer who has been practicing their art for decades, but to hear a child perform with unbelievable musical skills is simply jaw dropping.

Read MoreI love being outdoors but good old mother nature has made it a bit challenging by keeping temperatures in the low teens. This didn't stop my wife and I today.

Located on the other side of I-71 from the Southpark Mall, Iceland USA Arena awaits all of those that are looking for fun in the..well, not so much sun, but simply fun.
