Much Thanks

As the Rhythm Festival approaches I need to express the gratitude I have for all the angels who have stepped forward to assist with making this Festival happen. There have been so many, but I must say a very special thanks to two. Chris Neilson (SRF web-master) was the first person I consulted when making the decision to move forward with the application process. Knowing the time required for such an event and the man power that would be needed Chris assured me the drum and dance community of Seattle would fully come out to support this event. Well Chris was right and with all the time he spent in those first two critical months on this festival we all should be thankful.
Mary Jo Pertello (SRF Operations Lead) has been nothing less than amazing and has come in and dedicated countless hours to the details and operations of SRF 2006. It has been a pleasure to work alongside her knowing that the Community has a treasure in it's mist and a great musician to.
I could go on with so many others, but will finish by saying a huge thanks to the entire SRF lead team. This would not be happening with out you.
Let's have a great time Saturday.
