WHAT IS THE CUBS WORLD NEWSLETTER AND WHY IS IT ATTACHED TO THIS SITE?
One of the first things we did when moving to the Villages was join the Chicago Cubs club. It is growing with over 400 members.
Speaking with the president of the club, he stated that he needed an anthem singer for meetings, watch parties and gatherings. I volunteered and now serve as the official anthem singer. Additionally, I offered to help put together a monthly newsletter, which as you will see if you explore the Cubs World pages, has become more of a magazine. I work with a great editor named Dan Marx and we always try to put out a quality edition.
During covid, we could've shut down for a while. But instead, we DOUBLED the issues, which I hope helped keep enthused about baseball. The CUBS WORLD NEWSLETTER can also be found on the CUBS WORLD site. click here

The area in and around the Florida Villages offers a variety of entertainment options. One such a place is called MORGAN'S MUSIC JUNCTION. The Thursday evening jam sessions are quite popular and being a part of these is an honor. In addition, I am proud to have become the house band pianist. It is an amazing experience working with these musicians both backing up other acts as well as performing my material. Check the Junction web site for a schedule of upcoming events. click here
SPECIAL EVENT AT THE JUNCTION WAS TOUCHING AS WELL AS GREAT FUN
On Sunday, the 11th of July, Morgan's Music Junction held a special benefit event for a very kind and beloved man, John Brown. The room was absolutely packed as people came to pay tribute to a unique soul.
John was hands on developing the Junction. The beautiful stage enjoyed by hundreds of talents was built by John. There isn't an unkind bone in his body. He literally sought out ways to help people.
At least 20 jammers hit the stage in an almost three hour extravaganza concert. Even with stage four cancer, John found the strength to sing his ever popular original song, GARAGE SALE. At one point he also danced.
During intermission, there was an auction held by Suzanne Morgan and Laura Jessup, with proceeds to be given to John. A majority of the items auctioned were home baked pies and such.
John provided a hand written document to each attendee containing a special Christmas Story. He also gave a tearful farewell speech toward the end of the show. But, people will remember this afternoon as being very special and upbeat.
It was a wonderful time for us and for him. Suzanne and Darell Morgan would like to thank everyone for supporting this event. As they say, "The door is always open."

FOR EVERYONE BACK IN THE CHICAGO AREA
"If you are hungry for live theater and want to be entertained,
this is a winner." - Alan Breslof - Around The Town Chicago
Its nice to see some theatre coming back both up North and down here in Florida. But, I happen to know just how talented Carla Gordon and Jan Slavin. This show to be presented at the Skokie theatre just outside Chicago should provide the kind of humor and entertainment many people badly need. These ladies are true professionals.
FOR INFORMATION AND TICKETS CLICK HERE
FYI...The reviews on this show have been stellar and both Carla and Jan deserve it! DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!
