Subject: Kevin Brock Film

Kevin Brock was an inspiring and talented 37 year old local musician that died suddenly two weeks ago in his home.

Many of you might have known Kevin, he played with a lot of musicians and bands in the area, (you might have seen him at The General Store Cafe), and he was an integral part of Paperhand Puppet Theater.  On Tues., Nov. 25th, there will be a viewing of a film Kevin was working on with a local filmmaker about his music.  You can see the flier, with more information about the event, by going to http://www.Creatorsdream.com.
