Hey All - super excited to share this info on the webinar I'll be sponsoring and leading the conversation about next week - Tuesday at 1:00 pm Central - if you're a member of Folk Alliance you can be part of the live participants being able to ask questions - later we'll have it up on the web.

I'm more than honored to have Beth Nielsen Chapman, Tom Paxton and Jim Photoglo as panelists to illustrate what we'll be discussing - here's more info to read about it:
