A Message From Brad Lehrer
Last month on Aug 30th we had The Preserve The Lehrer Concert. The concert itself was the who’s who of the Portland music scene. The bands were The Knuckleheads, The Ken DeRouchie Band and The Strange Tones. Sitting in at times during the day was Mitch Kashmar, Lloyd Jones, Karen Lovely, Lisa Mann, Dover Weinberg, Pat McDougall and Rae Gordon. The day was a huge success and I thank all that attended, volunteered, performed and donated.
More Musicians to thank: Ken DeRouchie, Rob Busey, Jeff Knudson, Pete Petersen, Arietta Ward, John Mazzocco, Julie Strange, Andy Strange, Andy Gauthier, Phil Wagner, Mike Klobas, Alex “Popcorn” Milsted, David Chachere. Keep in mind that all the musicians and volunteers’donated their time.
A huge thank you should go out to David Kahl, John Mazzocco and Ken DeRouchie. These three music monsters went above and beyond the call of duty in the organizing of this event. There are no words that can be use to describe their commitment and efforts to this project.
