“My Lands of Mercy!! I believe I am out of space. It is just wonderful to write my column and not have to mention that someone who is popular in the community has passed away.

So, my dear friends, I’ve got to go. I am out of space. If you have something you want me to talk about, please send it to me by email to, rosapryor@aol.com or you can call me at 410-833-9474. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME, I’M MUSICALLY YOURS.
