LINKS
The following is a list of links to various websites of groups, organizations and individuals, mostly musicians, with whose work you may or may not be familiar, but all of whom are deserving of a much wider audience. Just doing my part to get the word out...
www.hcn.org - the High Country News
Billing itself as "a paper for people who care about the West", the High Country News is published bi-weekly and reports on natural resources, public lands, and timely important issues in the West.
The writing is always first rate, particularly through the Writers on the Range program. Subscriptions are available.
There is a very good essay entitled, "The Mythic West and the Billionaire", which provides a general background to my work and touches on issues with regard to unspoiled, romanticized (read: traditional) landscapes.
www.clearcreekradio.com - KYGT LP FM 102.7, Idaho Springs, CO - The "Goat"
KYGT is an all-volunteer, locally-owned, listener-supported, non-commercial community radio station located in the Clear Creek Valley 35 miles west of Denver, originally founded in 1995 as a cable broadcast.

the Official Mental as Anything Website
That little ol' band from Australia - these guys have been one of my favorite bands
since the early 80's - and you've probably never heard of them. They're all artists too. You can view some of their art on their website as well as their entire discography and a surf report.

Visit the website to get her schedule and to purchase her CDs. "How long has it been since you had the blues? Little Mary will give 'em to ya." And she will too.
