Hey all,

Hope you're doing well in this springtime, it's going to
be a good weather year, I can feel it in my bones!

It's also going to be a great festival out in Tom Bean, TX
this weekend... this will be the third installation of this
festival I've been a part of, and it's been great fun each
time (even with falling on stage last October! :)... kind
of whet your appetite for Kerrville, here are the details:

---------------------

Spring marks the return of fine Texas acoustical music to the Coyote
Stage. We've been busy improving our facilities and campsites to give
Beanstock fans an enjoyable musical experience. Come on down and
bring your lawn chairs for a full day of music, or camp overnight and
see it all. Guests are allowed to bring their own food and beverages.
Admission price to this two-day event is only $15 per day or $25 for
both days. We offer a variety of fine music each day, so check the
schedule for exact performance times. Directions to the Coyote Ridge
Ranch in Tom Bean, Texas are below. Support North Texas acoustical
music and make plans to kick off a new festival season with us!
