Unfortunately, it's in Las Vegas. So, I guess I'm going to have to pass. But how COOL would that be? Now if it were a couple of years from now and the location was Nashville or NYC, well, I'd be applying for that one.

There's been boatloads of music around here lately, and I am happy to say that I was able to see and hear some of it. Joe and I took Caroline and a couple of her friends - Loreal and Melanie - to the Rochester Indie Fest. They loved it, and they are just about the right demographic. It was an interesting and diverse crowd age-wise. There weren't as many kids as I thought there would be, and there were more people my age or even, (gasp!), older. Local artists, Mint Jam rocked the house (as expected) and Julia Nunes delighted the crowd with her voice talents and her ukelele. Gregory Paul was interesting in a dark and morose kind of way. Jodie Shaw was kind of cool. My daughter was one of the throng at the merchandise table where she purchased several CDs and a Julia Nunes t-shirt. All-in-all, RiF 2008 was a successful launch, I would say.

And I have to pat myself on the back just a little bit because I was the one who suggested Mint Jam and Julia Nunes to the three gentlemen producing this festival-Ned Corman, George Daddis and Steven Gates. Just a little pat; I mean, if you don't pat yourself on the back every once in a while, who's going to do it?

Sorry it's been so long. Oh well.

yours in music,
Tracy
