Shook Down
Is
ASCAP kneecapping your corner coffee shop?
by Joe Pastoor
Check out the Rake Magazine article on coffee house music and
what ASCAP, BMI and SESAC are doing to the little guys. Perhaps
this wouldn't be so bad if the local musicians were getting their
cut for their original music performed in these venues.

In Memory
of Dave Ray by Phil Heywood
Dave Ray passed away early in the morning on Thanksgiving day, 2002. He and I were scheduled to play a double-bill in St. Paul on December 10, a date Dave had booked a couple months after he’d been diagnosed with lung cancer in May. As I understand it, the prognosis then was that he had six to twelve months to live.

Mission Statement:
This
site is intended to be the focus of acoustic music in many genres of contemporary
and traditional folk music, which includes Celtic, Blues, Bluegrass, and
a broad mixture of merging styles, as well as new acoustic styles. Although
I have a particular interest in the musicians of Minnesota, and especially
those who I've come to know in the Twin Cities area, I will also be bringing
attention to some of my favorite musicians that are to be found throughout
the country, and world.
