Hi Everyone!

The Toy Trains will be back at The Mississippi Pizza Pub tomorrow (Saturday, June 18th) with a later than usual start time of 6PM.  We’ll play until 6:45 or 6:50 and then my adult band “Vince Schreck & The Expendables” will take over.  It’s really the same band playing my “adult” music, so we’ll be a bit louder, but it’s still suitable for older kids.  It’s $5.00 for anyone over 12 years.  Hope you can make it!
