David will be playing some favorites, as well as yet to be released songs. These shows are not archived, so once the show is over, it's gone for good. There's a “chat” feature to interact with fellow friends and fans, and/or make song requests. All StageIt shows are 30-minutes in length with a 10 to 20-minute encore.

"we really do appreciate you and all you both do for the community!"
Thank you so much Don & Jean & Carolina Gator Gumbo!
(Arts Splash Summer Concert Series - High Point - June 24th @ 6:00pm - Go have some fun!)
"Please accept this as a contribution to the great work you continue to do for the events calendar and CLT music."
Tom (Kuhn) of Red Rocking Chair (every Tuesday at The Comet Grill) and with Chuck Johson around town.
"Thank you for all the hard work putting the newsletter together. I really appreciate all of your efforts."

"...I want to thank you for all the work you have done over the years to benefit live music in the Charlotte area!
I wish my donation could be more and hopefully down the road I can help again." David (Beasley)
"Thank you for all you do to get ou the word about the rich musical offerings in our region. No matter
how great the music, there won't be an audience for it without communication!"
Wanda Hubicki - The Charlotte Folk Society
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 a monthly fee. As many have shared with me, it's both a valuable resource, and a treasured promotional tool. 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.
