Thanks for reading this edition of the Georgia Jam Festival Newsletter.  There used to be a time when it was easy to find great jam scene festivals... just hit Jambase.  But, those days are gone.  Today, Jambase hosts entries by anyone with an internet connection.  Seriously.  Makes it hard to keep track of the music artists I know you really want to see.  If you're having trouble too, maybe check out www.JamBands.com as a resource too.
