"...Please forgive me for not e-mailing you sooner to thank you for such a wonderful concert, everything was perfect.

On behalf of the Southeast Anchor Branch I thank you so much for coming. Please convey to the other members of the band how much we all enjoyed the performance and your interaction with the audience. I hope you'll be willing to comeback again... Anne Stepney
