MUSICKFEST
Our friend, Wendy Musick, from Georgia greats, Southern Bitch recently had to have surgery to remove a pancreatic tumor. Due to the sad state of our country’s healthcare system, and with no health insurance to speak of, no surgeons that she sought in Atlanta would consider performing the operation. She finally had a successful surgery earlier this month in Athens and is recovering nicely, but help is still certainly needed. Please donate if you can, and at least check out the site at: http://www.myspace.com/musickfest.

MIDWEST/EASTERN VOYAGE
Centro-matic will journey out again in November with friends Bobby Bare Jr. and David Vandervelde. We’re pleased to have Charles Bissell (of the Wrens) with us for the two New York shows as well. December Texas, Southern US, and New Years dates will be announced very soon, so keep yerself tuned in, and maybe we’ll see you down the road. Thanks all. [please see the SHOWS page]
