Help Memorial Hall “Shine On!” with a fresh, clean façade for its 10th anniversary post-renovation! Our goal is $15,000 to support a specialty chemical pressure wash of the sandstone and granite comprising the historic venue’s remarkable front entrance ✨

Even a small gift will go a long way toward ensuring that our treasured venue looks as fantastic as the day it opened nearly 120 years ago.

Thanks to everybody who came to THE COMET last night for the Blue Snakes & Banjos Spring FunRaiser (noD). There were many wonderful moments as we paid tribute to our late friend, Ernie D'Amico. Roger White set a new bar for fan loyalty by driving from Atlanta to join the festivities. We met one of the hosts of WAIF's "Kitty's Blues," multiple trustees of the Longworth-Anderson Series, and friends from different parts of our lives. Our sincere gratitude goes out to everyone for supporting WAIF 88.3 FM CIncinnati and LAS at Memorial Hall OTR. If you missed the shindig, you can still get a shirt or a coffee mug, or you can become a member of the station. It's amazing that two knuckleheads with microphones and a turntable (well, a computer these days) can build a community of such wonderful folks. Bob Hust and I are humbled and proud.
