Steve,

Congratulations in advance for all the hard work in putting together this amazing festival!

to badly misquote Stevie Wonder, "you will be amazed and amused!" when you go.
This is well worth it, and just to tempt your tummy, here are some highlights of the performers:

Dean Brown (Marcus Miller, David Sanborn, Breckers, etc)
Phil DeGruy (17 string guitarp)
Kerry Kearney (Dickie Betts, Allmans)
You heard them on "Adventures in Stickolgy," now you can see them live! plus...

Omar Hakim ( Anita Baker, Sting, Weather Report, Mariah Carey, Madonna, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Chic, Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, Everything but the Girl, Marcus Miller, Kazumi Watanabe, and Lee Ritenour- + notables: Stings Blue Turtles band, and replaced the Drums on Dire Straits Brothers in Arms album)

so if you are within driving distance, get to the festival and also there's this Stick Guru......

Dave Brosky- Pittsburgh

I was wondering where Steve has been the last few days, recovering I guess.

It looks like it was a great success, Steve, congrats!
