VICTOR SHIRTS - Longtime Manatees lover Victor Malanowski has created some great Manatees merchandise over the years. From banners and bags to cups to stickers. Now Victor has new Manatee-shirts. They feature the front cover of our new CD 'Travelers On The Road' on the front and the back cover on the back. They come in olive green, grey, black, or white. Makes a great gift. They will be available at our merch tables at the World Cafe Live and Steel City Coffehouse shows.
