This is the last Friday before Christmas, so we wanted a holiday theme to our Live Music Friday. Our guests are renowned Lansing-based pianist John Dale Smith, who’s worked on numerous musical theater productions in town and is also director of music at the Plymouth Congregational Christian Church in Lansing. We’re also joined by his wife, Janine Novenske Smith, director of choirs at University Lutheran Church in East Lansing.
