Just for the record, they’re always the second and fourth Tuesdays of the
month (unless otherwise correctly noted - but how would you know?)
Other Stuff
Our policy is to not include schedules except for special
events deemed of general interest to our readers. Attention all
performers and Acoustic music groups. We will no longer publish
schedules except for special local events. Instead, we will list
Acoustic music performers, contact information, where to find
schedules, etc. Performers may submit their own copy to the editor
via our post office box or e-mail dpott@ptd.net. We reserve the
right to limit space. Allow sufficient time for editing. This is
intended to give artists more comparable exposure. Commercial Ads
will also be accepted for annual publication - 1/8 page or
multiples thereof. Call for rates and details if interested.
