One more thing... if you are in the U.S. and Canada, I urge you to check out the Folk Alliance, both the annual conference and the every growing number of regional conferences.   Folk DJ's and program hosts like myself use these as a way of meeting and hearing new music. I can speak for NERFA, the North East Regional Folk Alliance - it is a gathering of around 800 musicans, presenters and media. It is a perfect place to meet and greet every November. Submit your CD for a showcase (there are radio hosts on the selection committee) and even if you don't get selected, go anyway. Bring a batch of CD's. You will find it worthwhile if you do your homework.

Okay, I will get down off this soapbox. Sorry for drifting.
