According to a recent MSN poll of 891,000 takers, only 3% of the respondents said they would attend “4 to 9″ concerts this year. 76% said they would not attend any, and 19% said they would attend “1 to 3″. Something’s wrong with this picture! See John Moore’s report on the huge drop in attendance under “Reports”.

We received word that Jimmy Corr passed away at his home but we were unable to find more info. Mr. Corr was instrumental in turning a little bar in the woods into a world-renowned concert venue called Mishiwaka in the Poudre Canyon outside Fort Collins, Colorado. Many local bands have played there as well – love going to shows at Mishiwaka, especially in the summertime! We send our sincerest condolences to Mr. Corr’s family and thank him for the great memories.
