The former Greencastle Middle School teacher has entertained young and old alike since retiring, playing in elementary schools, nursing homes, college classrooms and various other venues in Putnam County.

As always, he will encourage children in attendance to sing along with him and to participate in the stories he will tell.

In the event of rain, the Music Mondays shows will be moved to Ridpath Primary School.

The Music Mondays kids concert series is a gift to the community from Greencastle Christian Church.
