Here's an email from James Rasmussen on Blues And Bikes show Friday at Etouffee Restaurant over across from Pierre's Salon, near McHenry Mansion, and across the street from Big Foot Carpet, and must be friends of Skip's music, as that's where you can by some tickets. Etouffee also recently joined the venues doing the Downtown Modesto Third Thursday Art Walk, where blues has been played regularly recently.

remember, these maps are also good the rest of the month during the day and other business hours, so if you don't make the whole art walk in one night, drop in during the month, or go on back, no excuse, maps new and improved.

Riverbank Community Theater takes steps to further establish a tradition of the fun time summertime musical as it announces auditions for “Bye-Bye Birdie" on May 3 at 9 a.m. in Escalon.

Last summer RCT re-opened the Del Rio Theater with a rendition of “Oklahoma!" that had the city talking. Five of the six August shows were sold out and numerous people were turned away as word of the outstanding singing, dancing and pageantry spread.
