12/3 – there are SO MANY outlets out there now doing “Corner Lounge”-like sessions on the interwebs & Miette Hope has done several of them…this is one of the cooler ones we’ve seen, esp. as far as one-person-bands go…

Program manager Christine Dancke surprised Aurora by inviting friends and her biggest fans…we just wish there were subtitles!
