This is first in a series of concerts to celebrate the redevelopment along West Atlantic Avenue into a vibrant part of the city.

We like to reach readers, as well as aspiring authors.

We started this because we thought it was a good idea to showcase local authors.

Everybody who used to go to the concerts felt betrayed when the series was canceled.

We don't know a lot about West Virginia. We have restarted that series. Missouri, however, has done well in the Big 12 and beat us last year 5-2. So, we have got a chance for some payback for that loss. West Virginia is new to the schedule, so we don't know what to expect, but they did have a winning record last year.

If Australia had to go into the (West Indies) series without anything in the interim they would have still had the doubts raised by their loss to England hanging over them.
