Gypsy Rose Lee once famously sang, “Let me entertain you.” Then she started removing her clothing. Slowly. Artfully.

That’s entertainment! She was a notoriously tough act
to follow.
Summer in the Wisconsin is lousy with drink, food, and festivities,
musical and otherwise. That’s because Wisconsinites know, like John Snow, that
“Winter is coming,” so we had best be enjoying the warm weather while it lasts.
Summer, like any artful act, can be tough to follow
(though Fall has its fans), but don’t let that bring you down. No matter where
you are, get up, get up, and get out there (to paraphrase Bob Uecker). Drag
yourself up from your lawnchair, or whatever squalid psychic torpor into which
you’ve descended, and come out to tipple two or three and open your ears to
some of these summertime sounds.

Turner’s Newsletter has added an amazing new option: POSTCARDS! Whaaaaa?
Yeah, you heard right. Most well-informed Turnerites receive their sporadic
action updates via email, but now they can alternately (or additionally) get a
scrap of cheap cardboard with information scribbled thereupon...
FOR FREE!!! Just ask.
Note: Postcards are redeemable for a drink wherever Big Wes Turner’s Trio is found.
