It will be a profoundly important evening in Westport on Nov. 7 when musical groups, live and silent auctions will raise funds for HIV/AIDS awareness. “Westport to Uganda” at The Cove Country Inn will feature music by “Romeria” and “String Tease”. Proceeds will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation. For more information or to donate items for the auctions, call Chuck or Carolyn, 613-273-8249; or Isidora, 613-273-3359.

If you like Celtic music, you’ll enjoy a concert at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Saturday, Oct. 17. “Crooked Wood” begins its performance at 7:30. When you’re listening to the music, you might want to remember that your $10 ticket is part of fundraising for the church. Admission by ticket only; call Betty McInnis, 613-273-3248.

That’ll be the day, Peggy Sue.

You know: THAT day: Nov. 1, at 2 p.m., when the Elgin Lions Hall will be shake-rattle-and-rollin’ with the music of Buddy Holly.

So put on your Blue Suede Shoes, wake up Little-Suzy, and bring her for some really good “slippin’ & a-slidin’, peepin’ and a-hidin’”.

And we don’t mean Maybe, Baby.

Tickets are available locally at Murphy’s in Westport or Mainly Antiques in Elgin; or you can call Mary Carty, 613-359-6479.
