The Newport Guitar Fest is coming up the weekend (all weekend)of April 16th at the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel in Hollywood(?). I plan on going down at least for 1 day to see all the guitars and etc. Also going to see one of my favorites - "The Book". Oh yes - Roy Bookbinder will be playing his brand of Piedmont Blues in the mini concerts (all weekend) and at the main concert (Sunday). Check out the Festival Website.
