Topic: A Festival of Musicians - Something New

I am pleased to announce our first annual Festival of Musicians - Spring break March 12th through the 14th, 2010.
At 21774 Miflin Road at Foley Beach Express in Foley, Alabama 36535
Tickets at: http://www.shop.gulfcoastfestivalofmusicians.com/
Finally a festival for musicians. I am told 400+ bands are vying for space on 20 or 30 sound stages from single musician setups to a midsize stage to accomodate a band up to 10 members and four huge sound stages with P.A. speakers stacked to the sky.
I am running a medium sized stage all three days with my big 1,800 watt system and 24 channel board. Got a vocal processor gonna make everybody's singing sound NICE.
Casey and I will do a one hour show at least on my stage each day.
Included in the ticket price are tokens for the audience members to give to bands they like best.
These tokens will be turned in for cash by musicians at the festival's end. The best bands get paid the most. Also the bands with the most tokens will be featured on the largest sound stages on the final day of the festival. cool
We hope this can be an annual event and grow bigger every year.
It's all about the music.

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Sounds like a lot of fun, tuba.  Good luck.  I wish I could there also.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Can you put up a family of four with a blind, geriatric dog suffering from dimensia?  If so, we'll be right there!  Oh wait.  That's girl's weekend and my wife will be out of town.  So that's a family of THREE with a blind, geriatric dog suffering from dimensia.  Don't worry about the dog, she only barks at things she can't see and many times aren't even there when the moon is either up or not up.
