Oh, I am sooo needing some good news..what with all the bad things that are happeningd on so many fronts, including the tragedies and losses that several Mudcatters have experienced recently, and that we, their cyberspace friends and acquaintances have experienced second or third hand with them even if it was just by our reading about what happened, and offering our prayers, and best wishes, and the small degree of tangible support we could muster.

But life sure does take a toll, doesn't it? That's one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to reading some good news about the Apple Hollow Music Festival.

I hope that all those who are attending that festival and who are performing at that festival remember those of us who aren't able to be there. I hope you guys and gals post lot of reports, and maybe even some links to photos.

So "On with the show!"* "Full speed ahead!"* And "big ups!"* to Adrien, and Bruce, and Ron, and all others who are involved with the Apple Hollow Music Festival!!

* Substitute whatever sayings you prefer that express your hope that everything flows together for the good and this festival turns out to be an artistic, social, and economic success!
