Thank you to those who  have reciprocated links or shown appreciation or have supported me in some way  throughout the years.  This weekly newsletter not only takes many, many hours to  compile, distribute, blog and promote, but also costs us a monthly fee.  It's  become a valuable resource for many, and a treasured promotional tool for  others. I started it, (in 2003), as a service to my musician clients and friends  who, at the time, had few ways of promoting their shows, or a publication that  would have an interest in writing about, or even listing their independent  shows. It has grown since then to include much more, but its purpose remains the  same - not to be a comprehensive list, but a way to help promote and advertise  those artists and venues I'm familiar enough with to personally recommend, and  whom I feel may need, and appreciate, what I do.
