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.

on the "Setting Up Success" Panel sponsored by DIY Convention, & offered

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
