Saturday night, March 9, TIME CHANGE

Tonight ushers-in what some call "the worst day of the year," but, for us, makes way for "the best time of the year" -- when daylight lingers after work, into the evening. And rediscovery of life outdoors resumes with a relish.

Now, some agree, and others dispute, that THIS "IS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR." Not the Christmas "shopping season," which is most characterized by tackle-and-grab behavior motivated by crazed consumers depleting the planet's resources with extreme acquisitiveness of disposable non-durable trendy crap, mindlessly justified by "exchanging gifts." At least that melee is ten months away, and the arrival of the hype and advertising for it is still, what, seven months away.

No disputing, IT'S THE START OF MUSIC FESTIVAL SEASON! Lots of weekend festivals can present a full day of music without dealing with expense and logistics of lights, and soon, festivarians don't need to drag-along parkas!

The time change. Oh yes. As we were saying...

Tonight, the wee hours of SUNDAY, MARCH 10, is when all who follow Daylight Saving Time make our annual "Great Leap Forward" (wait. Isn't that Maoist?) meaning all of us together, in the great collective of civilization, lose an hour of sleep Saturday night. (Hell, you lose an hour of sleep hanging-out after a typical Saturday night concert, anyway, so what's the big deal about THAT? Geez.)

"One minute after 1:59 a.m. Sunday, the clock will tick forward to 3 a.m., and the skipped hour will begin wreaking havoc on our unprepared bodies and psyches. (Though Sunday will also be the first day of the year where the sun sets after 7 p.m. -- so bring on the havoc.)" says the Seattle P.I. -- the days are already longer in the Great White North.

Anyway, fellow travelers -- that is, fellow indulgers in musical adventures -- remember to re-set your clocks an hour forward. Your celph will show you the "new" time...

♪ The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS – and views of interest to artists everywhere – more specifically to musicians and the creative community and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music. That includes both traditional and innovative forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues (now undergoing a major update), and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues from the monumentally large to the intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops, conferences, and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the swamp water roots of the blues and the bright lights of where the music is headed now.
