I'M OFFICIALLY DOWNLOADABLE!
My first CD, "Something To Sell At My Gigs," is now available for download online, thanks to the combined efforts of CDBaby and www.emusic.com ! So go to Emusic.com, type "Tuerff" in the search window, and download away! You do have to join emusic.com, but you get something like 40 free downloads for doing so!
(My new CD will eventually be up, too, but these things take time.)

I played the Flagstaff Folk Festival last weekend, and I don't wanna kvetch, but...
... I wanna kvetch.
These people need to do some better planning and scheduling. They have four stages set up (good).
Two of those stages are amplified (bad), and both of those are too close to either of the stages that aren't amplified (really bad).
One of the stages, the "Art Gallery Stage," is virtually invisible and you have to WANT to find it. They need to put up some signs. I ended up playing second to last on this stage to about 13 people. Three of them were my family. I did sell a CD, which is good, but something's gotta be done.
Which brings me to the scheduling problems:
1. They say on the website that people MUST let them know if they want to play by May 1. However, they continue to take in acts right up to the week of the show.
2. This, in turn, makes it impossible to make out a schedule until literally the week of the show. I had no idea when or where I was playing until last Monday.
3. I also suspect some laziness in the scheduling. Case in point: Last year, Gavan Weiser opened the day in the "Art Barn" area, and I was the second act in that room on that day. This year, I was the second-to-last act on the Gallery Stage, and Gavan closed the day on that stage. Which makes me wonder if they didn't just flip the schedule upside down and change out the locations for those artists who were here both last year and this year. Whatever.
Anyway, Flagstaff was nice.
