The music

We have had a little bump in the road on the music festival, but its turning out for the good.
Looks like Shannon Gackstatter wont get to play after all. She is really good. Not her fault, just bad timing. We also wont have the Butler Brothers.

BUT, We are going to have Julie Sutton. I first heard of her a couple months ago, and first heard her music over the weekend. All I can say is .... OH MY GOODNESS>
She is really something. Bluesy-Jazzy - kinda singer. Great original material.
You need to come hear her. You will be amazed. An incredible combination of the spiritual and sensual all in one voice.

Also we may get the local group Revival. They have been around awhile. They are going to let me know for sure on Monday.
So looks like the bands are set - of course ive said that before - but hopefully now they are.

We have local musicians Tim Durham, Revival, and Julie Sutton.
Out of towners - who were here last year, Remedy Drive and Ashley Reynolds.
Out of towners who are new - Rafael Irizarry (classical guitarist) , and Geof Kimber, an australian now living in south carolina, keyboard player and vocalist.

Thats seven acts.
Also Friday night will be local bands from area churches, Mostly youth bands.
There is a home football game, so we will be starting that up late, hoping to catch the after game traffic.

Ive got some helpers now. Can always use more, but it is good to have some lined up.
Could use some more cash.

Ok, yall can go back to debating the hospital deal now. :)
Or we could debate the order of musicians on the program.
