"TIED TO THE TRACKS" - ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC CALENDAR

The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC CALENDAR & the separate and very updated NEWS FEATURES are now posted, and easy to access at www.myspace.com/laacoustic. (You don’t need to be a Myspace member to read, even to copy, the calendar & news.)

NEWS ALERT: We recommend you read the lead feature story in our June 7 News edition: Congress is nearing passage of a bill that will rob artists of our rights to out original material. Read the story there. There are links that will help you take action and let your representatives and senators know what you think..

CALENDAR NAVIGATION: The calendar has been EXTENSIVELY updated. There’s an enormous number of festivals on the weekend of June 14 & 15, and we’ve got ‘purt near all of em, with all the info you need to go or to stay home and listen to web simulcasts from some of ‘em. You can find the latest news and all the events and festivals this weekend very easily on our Myspace page.

But looking into the future, to find all the updates clear into 2009, you need to know how to go “back to the future.” It’s an aberration of Myspace that after you click “view all”, you’ll need to click “older” to see things that haven’t happened yet. Just click it and scroll down. If you don’t see far enough ahead (or far enough back, since the news archives are in there, too) then just click “older” again, as many times as you like. If you click it enough, we reckon you’ll get all the way back to when “acoustic music” was made by indigenous natives pounding with rocks on hollow logs (bring your loin cloth).

Wisecracks aside, please go read the lead news feature.

Send us your comments at tiedtothetracks@hotmail.com. (Please don’t send anything through Myspace email. We just can’t keep up with that.)

Best,
