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.
