Being a recent immigrant to Healdsburg, I knew that we had the Lutherie School here, but I didn't know the guitar-making community here was that well thought of! Maybe I should learn to play the guitar? If you're wondering what it's like here in Healdsburg, check this out; it's a picture I took out of my office window this spring. http://www.negrino.com/pages/officepix.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 20:28:17 -0400 From: Elwestrand Subject: [RS] James Keelaghen Show in Anaheim,CA Hello West Coast Listers- I just got the info on an upcoming James Keelaghen show (he of Cold Missouri Waters, fame) in Anaheim, CA. He is playing on September 16th. For info on the show contact Steve Dulson at (949) 646-1964 or e-mail to steve@psitech.com. This is an extremely rare opportunity to see him on the West Coast. I for one, won't miss it! And p.s. I am starting to turn green with FRFF envy. Maybe I have to go next year! :-) E ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number - Free Free voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 21:00:51 -0400 From: Katie Mahoney Subject: [RS] Galway to Hillsdale Hey all! Just returned from Ireland, and am suspiciously energetic at what feels to me like 1:58 in the morning (oh right, that's earlier than I go to bed most nights . . . heh). At any rate, I just wanted to send a giant WOOHOO!!!!! to the lists, because I'm heading out for Falcon Ridge bright and early tomorrow morning, and I know I'll see a bunch of you there! Hooray for not being depressed that my trip is over because of awesome festivals!
