Free Download of Madi Diaz Session

Young popster Madi Diaz was one of the standouts of this years 30A Songwriters Festival in the Florida Panhandle's Walton County. She's got an impossibly clear voice and straight ahead delivery that's infectious. You can check out my You Tube video of one of her performances at 30A.

Good news: Diaz is offering a free recorded session download on Daytrotter.com. Here, also, for your reading pleasure, is a nice interview with Diaz at the South By Southwest Festival site.

Saddle Up For Bonnaroo This Weekend!

Let the pilgrimage begin... Bonnaroo happens this weekend in Manchester Tennessee. This is a big, hot, gnarly time, and not for the casual fester. Come prepared, there isn't shade and you're probably gonna hike a bunch. I usually love to watch the Bonnaroo webcast from home, but I don't see one on the Net for this year...hmmmm....if you know of one, let me know and I'll post it.

Jambase has a nice preview of how to tackle this giant festie monster.

Happy Birthday Zach Deputy!
