When first starting our series/festival in Ventura, CA in the late 80s, I was quite surprised to see the people also "coming out of the woodwork" to both perform and listen (That is how I met Ted Killian). Another friend in Bakersfield, CA (known for oilfields and agriculture) started running a series a few years ago....and people come out to hear and participate. Performers and audience are out there, it is just a matter of connecting...and it sounds like you've done it in Boise. Very cool. I think this is so important, for the evolution of culture, to get rid of the myth that art can only be done on a high level in the "big cities" Such as NYC, LA, and SF. It can be done anywhere. The Loopers-Delight list seems to have many members who prove this regularly. Is this OT now...? My apologies... Jeff Jeff Kaiser http://www.jeffkaisermusic.com pfMENTUM.com • AngryVegan.com
