The concert at the 400 Club in Minneapolis last night almost didn't happen.
Our talented nephew, Stephen Letnes, flew in from Denver to celebrate the holidays with his family and to give a concert. But he arrived here without his keyboard after the airlines told him it would cost $820 for it to make the round trip.
Fortunately, in what his mother termed a "Christmas Miracle," it was discovered at the last minute that his sister's mother-in-law had a suitable keyboard to loan him. So Steve performed as scheduled last night before a nice audience that included family, old friends from Concordia (a former girlfriend among them) and others. . . and the performer enjoyed an after-show party as well.

Steve will return home to Littleton, Col., after the holidays. . . and be reunited with the keyboard that didn't make the trip.
