Well that's it folks. Hard to believe that this fest just keeps getting better and better year after year -- where will it all end???? When we started doing this the plan was to bring home to you some of the great talent that we, the Wail, befriended out there on the road. It seems now that we have flipped to showing off to our musical buddies just how wonderful Midwest music fans are. On the list of thank you's, you are the very top - You guys are simply the best!
