Acoustic Americana Music Guide, Sep 11 through 14

.
So, whatdya do when someone visits and wants to know if the Guide needs an update? You put ‘em to work updating it (even if it was just done yesterday, visitors know about other stuff to include). The editor still can’t use the computer, but his recovery from eye surgery is progressing.

For many of us, Thanksgiving arrived early this year. Firefighters saved over a thousand homes (many built where they should never have been). And for at least one grateful editor, dedicated surgeons saved an eye that otherwise would have been lost.
+
So, what do you do when friends drop by to visit after your eye surgery, and you can’t use the computer? Well, you put the willing to work updating the Guide! (And revealing THAT will probably put an end to visitors…) This edition extensively covers the part of second week of September, PLUS there’s a full feature on the upcoming MILLPOND MUSIC FESTIVAL, held September 18-20.

ACOUSTIC AMERICANA
MUSIC GUIDE

SEPTEMBER 11 through 14, 2009 EDITION

With additional events added…

The Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona opened early this year, on Labor Day weekend. There’s plenty of music there, lots of it acoustic, and we bring it to you in a special section at the beginning of each days’ listings. Plus (as always) there’s an almost incomprehensible number and variety of live acoustic performances all across the L.A. region. So raise a toast to the firefighters and go enjoy a show.

Whether you got to go anywhere this summer or not, the wonderful “MILLPOND MUSIC FESTIVAL” (the 18th annual), is a fine last hurrah to celebrate summer’s end, just north of Bishop, September 18-20. It’s an “EVENT-OF-THE-MONTH” pick; last year, Millpond made FolkWorks “Best of 2008 / Top Ten;” www.folkworks.org/content/view/35788/166. All you need to know about it is in a special feature at the end of this week’s listings. That, and all else that’s happening, hither and yon,

Yes, it’s true –
There are more ACOUSTIC AMERICANA / ACOUSTIC RENAISSANCE music performances EVERY week in the Los Angeles area than the COMBINED TOTAL of ALL OTHER KINDS OF MUSIC!
+
(And that doesn’t even take into account the dozens of electric Americana shows!)
