TOGETHER AGAIN

The Page Cavanaugh Trio swings and Mike McCaffrey sings “Great Songs of

the Swing Era” from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Sunday at the Shell Bar at the Balboa

Bay Club. The session was originally set for a nightclub in Huntington

Beach, but the club closed so the event was moved to the Balboa Bay Club,

where both play, but on separate nights. Together they will perform, mix

with the crowd and autograph their recently released CD. Not a club

member? Call a friend who is and come and enjoy an evening of great

music!
