I had a note from the Walnut Valley folks regarding a film for which I did the sound track (BLOODY DAWN) - they praised the music and the movie, said they'd had a couple of letters asking the festival to book me for '08 and they said:

" encourage your fans to contact the Festival Office and ask for you to be considered for the Festival. We really listen to people's requests and input.

The festival is successful because of people who purchase tickets and come each year. We listen when people request an entertainer!

Walnut Valley Staff"

... and it came from the hq@wvfest.com address

I feel just a little funny doing all this ... but from the email they sent me, it looks like, at least someone on the committee would like to be helpful - and they have given me specific direction to seek help. So I guess it's OK for me to encourage folks to write.
