5/29/2009 -- "I went to the memorial services for this great Richmond musical maniac, Gary Gerloff.

He will be missed!" -- John Leedes

5/14/2009 -- Time is not on my side. Having been seduced by social media outlets and blogging, my leisure time is no longer devoted to updating this website on a daily basis, so last minute gigs sent to me may not always make the calendar in time. Be on the safe side and send them as soon as you can. Don't wait until the day before.

There is a Richmond Music Journal group on Facebook where you all can join and post your own photos and gigs. Someone foreign bought up richmondmusicjournal.com to just park ads on. That is not cool, but we're not going to try to buy it from them, we'll just stay here on this site. At least we're famous enough for someone to steal our name.
