so........ I played at the Keene Music Festival and performed my regular acoustic folk set. I subscribe to this list because I also perform ambient music using Reason and Ableton Live, and have learned a lot and heard a lot of great music by listening to the different artists that post to this list. For those that don't know, the Keene Music Festival is a completely free music Festival (no admission charges and no one gets paid) with a slew of different stages set up, on literally the main street of Keene, NH. They have assigned stages and open mic spots, where anyone can just sign up on that day and play. It's a great concept and this year is the 6 th year of the festivals existance. I know it's something I look forward to participating in every year. In my opinion the best part of the festival is that they have no prejudices on what type of music is performed. The list of bands from this year is here. http://www.keenemusicfestival.com/times.html It's a pretty diverse group of musicians, who i seriously doubt anyone would call boring or ordinary. I have to admit I was pretty ripped when I read that comment this morning. I have been playing music since I was 15 ( I'm in my early 40's now) and very much take offense to have someone make generalizations about fellow musicians and the music they create, regardless of the genre of the music. Does it really matter how I'm making music, if I'm using conventional instruments like acoustic guitar and voice or using non-traditional instruments like effects and samplers as long as I'm creating something? Was (all of the music at the festival) something I would listen to at my house? probably not, but it certainly wasn't boring or ordinary. Now I'm going to download your two sets to see what they sound like. My webpage is here http://web.mac.com/jimbutlermusic/iWeb/Site/Home.html some of my ambient music is here http://music.download.com/jimbutler/3600-8357_32-100851197.html?tag=listing_song_artist Peace..
