HELP!!!
As some of you folks know I play blues with the Archie Edwards Blues Foundation in Washington, D.C.
Well, the foundation has been renting Archie Edward's old barber shop for $200 a onth ever since Archie Died in 1998 but Archie didn't own the property. The owners have let it be known that they want to cash out in the the spring and sell the barber shop...
It would look as if the honeymoon is over as we are hnow going to have to buy the property or be put out... We raised about $7000 last year from donations but will be needing to quadtriple those next year and the next if we are going to hold onto Archie Edwards old babershop...
