Upcoming Web Site

[Dan MacDonald]

Sound like an interesting idea.  I suspect that a great deal can be done 
with links to other sites (musicians sites, tourism sites, etc.), but it 
would be a good way to consolidate much of it.  One of our current list 
members (Mike Little) has a great deal of info on his site about local 
events and things like Victor's picture.  These would certainly make a good 
first impression.
