A Hall Of Musical Gods
“Val’s Halla Records in Oak Park is hurting and could use your help,” Tom Marker writes on the WXRT website.
“[T]hings are getting tough. She has a smart plan for the future but the bills are mounting and she needs help to get over this current hump and on the the next phase. All of the details of how you can be involved are included in an excellent article in the Oak Park Wednesday Journal by Anna Lothson.”
