I have
done My final production of the site and the
newsletter.
Thank you all.
I thank all who have contacted me on
how much you have enjoyed the production over the years. I have now turned it all over to Jim “JAMO”
Flynn:
jamo@att.net.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Jim. Also we now have Al
Fink al@bandsandclubs.com and his web
site http://www.BandsAndClubs.com.
Please know that they are doing things on their newsletter
and web site in their own way, it is theirs and they will do their productions
as they like. You may contact them and express your opinion but please
understand that this is a lot of work and they have to find their own way. In the past many of you gave me suggestions
and some I did and some I did not do. I know I like the site that I can click
on Friday night and see my choices in a quick and concise way too. But I have
gone many places and have searched for live music and believe me nowhere else
will you find these listings.
The most important things are that you must get all band and
club listings to Jim and Al and then express to them what you like and dislike
about what they are doing. Nothing can
be done if they do not have the information.
Now more than ever if you are a venue or a
band it is up to you to send Jim and Al your list so that none of our music
followers miss any of the live music in the area.
Thank you and good luck to all!
Barry.
