Bill Christman has had a studio at Four Corners for many years.
He also has participated in many neighborhood events such as Art Exposed.
His chuck wagon dispensed corn dogs to the multitudes many times.
He has worked intimately with the Central West End Arts Council and has helped place objects d’art around our neighborhood. Bill’s signs and other projects have always had a note of whimsy and quickly attracted attention.
He now is involved in a project of a different sort.
In order to ensure a sense of community and to provide a place for neighbors to meet and relax, he turns his studio into Joe’s Cafe one night a week.
On Thursdays beginning at 8pm, neighbors are invited to bring themselves and their refreshments to the Cafe to hear acoustic music and get to know each other better. Everyone kicks in a little for the musicians. Otherwise, it’s a pleasant, inexpensive interlude close to home. Bill welcomes children and dogs (behaved of course).
Following is a schedule of forthcoming attractions: Sep 2, Soulard Blues Sep 9, Bill Jones Flamenco Sep 16, Mitsu Saito – Cello Sep 23, Hillbilly fiddle and guitar Sep 30, Tom Hall Blues, Jazz, Celtic Everyone is welcome. For information call Bill at 8622541.
The music is acoustic, not amplified. Come and check out this slightly bohemian and very Christman enterprise!
