All hail the performing musican. In an age when, increasingly, the music du jour is canned and preprogrammed, it's comforting to see so many folks out there willing to put in the time and effort, braving audience indifference in order to bring us live music. Music made right in front of your eyes by actual human beings. My goal here is to get everyone listed. An impossible task, to be sure, but I did my best. If that isn't good enough, by all means get proactive. If you have a bio, super cool band photo or new CD, send it to me. If you have a lineup change or a hot gig, let me know about it. All you gotta do is call (325-0634 ext. 234). Or e-mail (mike@inlander.com). Or fax me (444-4772). -- Mike Corrigan
