[audio:https://lethbianlove.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/priceisright-losinghorn.mp3%5D Initially I questioned how they even made the list, but the reality is that competition for live music in Lethbridge has been sorely lacking. But when opportunity arose, they successfully filled the void that the Tongue ‘n Groove had left behind. So I must congratulate the owners of The Slice, Jesse …
