Lori granted a brief Pleasant time

My wife, Lori, works for a band called Brave Combo. Recently, the band played an Art Fair in East Lansing, MI, home to Wally Pleasant. Lori and I have the couple of CDs that Pleasant's released, but haven't seen him live - just never saw him playing anywhere.

While Lori was looking into the Art Fair, another, bonus reason she was interested in this show was because Wally Pleasant has played that Art Fair for 14 years in a row. The opportunity to see Wally Pleasant perform might arrive!

As details were arranged and finalized, however, Lori got the news that Wally wasn't playing the festival this year. Lori laughed it off as she worked with the festival organizers on the Brave Combo gig - it's a shame that when we show up in Wally's home town, he doesn't play a show he's played for 14 years in a row.

Bottom-line, the Art Fair arranged a 2-song set for Wally Pleasant right before Brave Combo's time. The event was even publicized in the local paper's entertainment section - click on the title for a link to the Lansing State Journal. About halfway through the article starts the related material and quotes.
