Here's a taste of what you missed if you weren't there last Friday at Jammin' Java for Graham Drew and Friends' tribute to Pink Floyd's masterpiece Dark Side of the Moon. Graham assembled an incredible lineup to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release, and the sold-out crowd hung with them until the very end of the night. The Tufts family would like to sincerely thank graham, the entire band, the staff at JJ, and the amazing audience. Nearly $3,000 was raised for our fund! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
