The LVJS Holiday Party was held on December 15, 2019 at the Bootlegger Bistro. The Joe Darro Quartet (Joe Darro, Gary Anderson, Chris Gordan and Bob Chmel) provided musical entertainment and there was plenty of vocal talent in the house, too. Our favorite MC/comic/jazzy guy, Pete Barbutti, led a merry band of revelers in the “12 Days of Christmas” and told us the tale of “Artie Chokes 3 for $1.”
