Garfield's Kitchen

This is GarfieldsKitchen. It is a website devoted to a musical community in the Lehigh Valley. This community provide mutual support that allows each member to overcome basic shyness and stagefright, provide opportunities to develop presentations and new material, and move forward into independent careers beyond the community. You may ask yourself right about now - Why do I call this site GarfieldsKitchen?? Because Garfield is a small town in New Jersey that I worked at for two decades and earned money to raise a family. I call it Kitchen because the kitchen usually has the best acoustics in the house, offers the most warmth, and it is the place you go to cook!
