CHARLOTTE EVENTS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
August 3, 2011 - August 10, 2011
"I was born just out of town ~ and I never could get in
So I turned to traveling 'round ~ where the nights fade and the days begin
They called me a hobo ~ but I never took that name
And they called me a pilgrim ~ but I was not to blame
As I wandered through the tall pines and the clay ~ trying to put a hurry-up on Judgment Day"
~ Bill Morrissey ~ 1951-2011
