Winter 2001

For more information about the concert series, call The United States Air Force Band's Concert Line at (202) 767-5658 or check out their web site at www.bolling.af.mil/band.

Williams' yuletide concerts to take a holiday -- Once again, Mason Williams and Friends treated his community to a Holiday Pops concert with the Eugene Symphony. Joined by special guest guitarist, Don Latarski, and amazing vocalist Marilyn Keller, the show was his best ever, but unfortunately for us, it may be the last show at home. After six years of sell-out crowds and public acclaim, Mason's holiday-themed, homegrown variety show is being packed away for now. Williams is moving on to other publishing and writing projects. The 2000 show will likely be his last -- in the holiday vein, that is.
