Been wondering where we’ve been? So have we. But the mystery ends this Friday evening when The Ragtime Willi Band descends upon Building 24 in Wyomissing for an evening of Mardi Gras tunes the likes of which you’ll never forget. “Louisiana Saturday Night,” “Don’t Mess with My Toot Toot” - these and more will fill the hours of 6:30-9:30 p.m., along with a special Mardi Gras menu put together by our friends at Building 24. There’s no cover, no minimum. So break out the beads and join the fun. More on Building 24 at Bldg24.com.

Our Mardi Gras tour then continues next Tuesday - aka Fat Tuesday - February 9th, at the Mardi Gras Bayou Blast at Prudhomme’s Lost Cajun Kitchen in Columbia. The show includes a Big Bayou Buffet, beads galore, prizes and raffles, king cake, a choice of 1 Hurricane or Grenade, and a hat contest - plus 3 hours of music from The Ragtime Willi Band, starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20. Reservations recommended. For more info, go to www.lostcajunkitchen.com or call 717-684-1706.

Hope to see you there.
