NOTE. This was one of the special shows with Cafe Soul. It was good seeing some of the artists who performed during the Lucas School House such as Jamie Spencer, Justin Hoskins and Lightnin. We were expecting an appearance by original founder and host Coco Soul, but, unfortunately, that was not meant to be.
