We are seeking a small to medium size venue for this event in the Atlanta area. We've already started scouting for venues (on or near a college campus would be great), but if you have any suggestions, please email them to Sandy Serge at SergeEnt@aol.com. If you are in a rock band (any style of rock), live in or near the Atlanta area, have a following, and would like to be considered as performer for this event, please send your presskit/CD to:

"Music is Everywhere" can be found at
http://www.booklocker.com/books/947.html
"Music is Everywhere" is a primer and guidebook for those
who desire a quick and simple understanding of music
appreciation. It provides easy to understand definitions in
music, a brief journey through the history of music,
concepts of folk music, and a glimpse at world music. It
also acknowledges how music affects our lives. It offers
creative ideas of how to enjoy music.
Excerpt:
"What if we didn't have any music? We would have no birds
singing, no melodies in our hearts, no sweet sound to our
ears, no lilt to our voices. What would remain?
Music is our health food. It nourishes our soul. It gives
us strength and a reason to function.
Like the rhythms of nature, such as the motion of the
planets, the succession of seasons, and the beating of the
heart, the organization of musical rhythm takes place in
regularly recurring patterns. Such patterns regulate the
motion of the music and aid the human ear in grasping its
structure."

We are currently working on a Web based video game about the music industry and
we're looking for background music to play behind the action.
There is no money involved, but the publicity will be great. The game will
be on THOUSANDS of Web sites and we'll include a link to YOUR page to let
people know where they'll be able to purchase the song, get more info,
etc...IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU THINK WOULD WORK, please reply directly to dave@kathoderaymusic.com with a link to a mp3 file I can listen to. We cannot take files in other formats
and will not be taking physical CDs in the mail for this project.
