Don, it looks great! We’ve been real busy with our “day jobs” this week, so haven’t taken the time to reply. We are really impressed with the work that’s been done – and would love to be a part of this if we can (Manassas is outside the area – just a bit)
Hope to talk to you soon!
Do you have festivals that last 2 or 3 days? When in 2011?
This may be good for someone as it seems to be a commercial venture with the valley’s music in order to line a few pockets. I doubt that it will do much at all for local musicians.
You may want to include this band in one of your venues. They are great! They play old-time mountain music, bluegrass gospel, Carter Family tunes, etc. Let me know what
you think! They play regularly at venues thru-out the valley, BRP and Skyline Drive.
