The Hook & Ladder Theater is very proud to present a very special event celebrating the 98 year-old birthday of legendary twin-city performer, James Samuel ‘Cornbread’ Harris Sr., his band of Friends and some very special guests!
**************************
Tapers notes: This was a fun night, I wasn't anticipating seeing Cornbread and his son on the stage together, so it was a pleasant surprise. As always, Cornbread puts on a great show, and doesn't seem to be slowing down at all as he nears 100 years old. Here's to hoping I'll be posting his 100th birthday part extravaganza in a couple years!
