Just the facts, ma'am!
I'm wiped out from staying up late last night with Don Walsh and Domokos from RUSTED SHUT, so this letter won't contain any long essays - just the facts.
However - there are lots of facts to report!

This is a great new series!
We had a blast last month. Jack Saunders and Mandy Smith put in stellar performances, and all of the stars had made appearances before 10:30pm!
After that, we turned off the cameras and had an old-fashioned musical Hoe-down, hootenanny, jam or whatever you want to call it, with our stars coming back onstage for
more.
Bob Edwards, owner of Dan Electro's, looked around the room and considered our new monthly show and said, "This is going to be a good night!"
I think he's right!
Our mix of American music styles, combined with short sets which start early, will give folks who have to get up early (for family or work) an event which would seem tailored for them. WESTERN BEAT is a show where one can comfortably hang out with friends and listen to all our great WESTERN BEAT stars - and still be home early!
We will always bring established artists and put ém on the bill with talented newcomers on the rise.
See the Hippies.TV schedule above for TV showdates and where to find a compressed version of the video of last month's show - already online!
