On October 7, 2022, Jim and Susie Malcolm were finally able to return to St. Louis after the worst of the pandemic. SPAE is able to bring them in from time to time to perform at the Focal Point. SPAE pays their fee and the Focal Point is able to keep the income from ticket sales as a fundraiser for them (they are a non-profit - you can contribute to them here - The Focal Point). The Focal Point has been making many of their concerts available online. You can watch Jim and Susie's concert here - on YouTube.
