ANNOUNCING
The Oak Park Farmer's Market Musicians' Community
http://opfarmersmusic.ning.com/
I have always been concerned that our community of musicians isn't completely represented by a blog. Our group deserves a forum in which everyone may contribute to the various announcement, discussions and happenings that mark our lives together. And a social network is exactly the kind of online forum for that to happen. It's like our own little Facebook or MySpace. But it's ours. Everybody can join. And once you're a member, you can post photos, videos, links, articles, discussions, announcement, etc.

Now that my family, work and travel commitments are preventing me from regularly updating this blog, I want to enlist everybody in the Oak Park Farmer's Market Musicians group as contributors to our online community. This space - Blogger - doesn't offer the tools and resources. But the new space - Ning - does.

So, head on over to http://opfarmersmusic.ning.com/ and give it a shot.

And, please send email to the musicians in our community who may not see this notice here. I'll send out an email blast, but it may not reach everybody. Let's get the word out and keep our community humming ... pickin' and singin', I guess ... online.
