p.s. hi guys! the scoop? well ... the last couple of snowy days i've
been in Lexington, Kentucky visiting my dear friend Michael Jonathan &
his gorgeous little farmhouse ... & who do you think was called upon
to fill in for (sadly) last-minute cancelled 2d guest DAVE SCHNAUFER?
... yep! my winter visit becomes a Woodsongs appearance! ... We'll
all be missing Dave's performance a lot tho... Dave is a master of the
mountain dulcimer and I've heard tell that he is a truly unbelievable
virtuoso (http://home.usit.net/~sandyc/ds.html) ... BUT ALSO, the main
guest on the bill tomorrow night is a do not miss! ... OTTMAR LIEBERT,
a world renowned flamenco guitarist is guaranteed to steal your breath
from your lungs ... amazing! (http://www.ottmarliebert.com)

... i'll play a old song you all know ... (Michael's fav! ...
a little song about peace & water ...), and a new little country
blues tune called "Your Face" which should hit the Woodsongs vibe
quite nicely ... hope you all can tune in! xo!~rr.

oh my my ... it's been a while!!   here is the latest:

RR, PANELIST @ CMJ 2004 in NYC, October 13-16:  Last month I had the
honor of being invited to be a panelist at the CMJ Music Festival 2004
in NYC!  I spoke on the "Setting Up Success" Panel sponsored by DIY
Convention, & offered incredibly insightful advice & elaborate stories
from my vast library of experience, and managed to maintain a pleasant
smile (ok, quaint grimace?) while discussing the ins & outs of my ain
true love, (musica), and its notorious public platform, (the music
biz) ... oila - success! ;) if you're in the Los Angeles area in
February you can catch my panelist act again at the 2005 DIY Festival.

RRGroup:

You can also see the same ad in the September 2002 issue of
(regular?) Guitar World.  She's right up front in that issue (page
13, right after the Rocktron amp ad).

Hey Robynn!  Those pixs are hot! ;-)  Were they taken at a club or
did Epiphone set up a photo shoot specifically for the ad?
Oh, I missed the last show you had at the High Dive here in
Champaign (much wailing and nashing of the teeth).  Anyway I
don't see anything scheduled on your web page (BTW, love the
redesign and the posters section, yeeooow!) for
Champaign/Urbana.  I hope that changes soon!

Scott (nice shirt!) J.

Hey Robynn,

soon, but your schedule doesn't show when that might be.  We need a fix
baby!  ;-)  Hope to see you soon!
