akhooha on Fiddler Sue Draheim is on Wikipedia

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:08:25 -0400

Hi Everyone,

I'm Sue's brother and I just wanted to let you all know that I wrote a Wikipedia article about Sue. I'm sure many of you knew her and performed with her at one time or another.

The great thing about Wikipedia is that you can always make changes, so I'd welcome any feedback, suggestions, corrections, etc.

Thanks

hallmw@gmail.com on Milk Bar SF - band booking

Fri, 10 May 2013 15:12:23 -0400

My name is Davis and do booking for The Milk Bar's Bluegrass & Beyond Sunday weekly show.

I wanted to reach out to any interested bands in playing our Sunday weekly series. We're located at Haight & Stanyan- across from Golden Gate Park. The shows are FREE thus providing plenty of exposure & foot traffic. They take place in the afternoon-early evening.

We usually book 2-3 bands every Sunday, do a guarantee total of $150 or 10% of bar (whichever higher) to be split evenly between all bands, We also provide food and drink hospitality to all bands as well. If interested please respond via email to my booking address at: moresticheslessriches@gmail.com

Thank you for reading this- and I hope to bring yer group to Milk! -- Davis

hallmw@gmail.com on SD June 8 Band Scramble

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:35:49 -0400

This June 8, 2013 will bring us another SDBS/NCBFC Bluegrass Day at the Del Mar Fair. Once again we encourage all bluegrass lovers to become involved with the great activities planned for this year. Full details for the day can be found at:

http://www.sandiegobluegrass.org/fair2013.html

Beginning the day will be the always inspiring Chidren's Program putting the future of our bluegrass and old time music in San Diego on display.

Shortly after will begin the band scramble allowing all participating musicians to play their favorite instruments in mini-concert with other randomly selected band members. Groups and individuals will be adjudicated and awarded prizes for performance. Great fun and great for self-confidence towards becoming a better picker! Fun as well for the audience to help select the best of the day with their applause. Deadline for Band Scramble guaranteed passes for you and a guest is May 10. See the website for all details.

To apply reply and fill in the blanks:

BAND SCRAMBLE APPLICATION ONLY!!

1) FIRST NAME _______________________ LAST NAME________________________________

2) INSTRUMENT(s)_______________________________________________________________

3)EMAIL (alternate)______________________________

4)POSTAL MAIL ADDRESS_____________________________CITY_________________

STATE__________________ZIP_________________

5)PARKING PASS_Y/N CART PASS _Y/N

A great lineup of NCBFC and SDBS member bands will provide 40 minute concerts for the rest of the day until 8PM that night.

Volunteers are always needed. I guarantee your Bluegrass day will be enhanced by volunteering to help with some aspect of the program. If a musician, you can get close to others and get tips or jam partners. If a fan of the music you will most certainly meet some great folks you did not know and come away with an expanded circle of friends, never a bad thing!

Flyers and forms are attached for both volunteering and getting the information in for Band Scramble participation.

Full details for the day can be found at:
