There are people in the San Diego music community who make a real impact on the community. While Sara Morrisson chairs the North Park Festival of Arts committee and her husband, Roger, has played in a few bands over the years, but mostly just seeing them at shows lets you know they're dedicated to San Diego music. If you catch them at all-ages events, you'll see them with their young son, Thomas, enjoying the bands as a family. As the only couple to ever share nuptials on the Casbah stage, they return tonight to celebrate their fourth anniversary.
