Actually, there is a central event, Shake Rattle and Roll in Peoria next month. It's a fundraiser, and the researcher, Dr. Craig Cady, is very open to listening about new ways to collaborate.

It raises him approx 10+ k a year [someone holler if i am wrong] and he could use a lot more help, not always in terms of money, to move faster. With a group of open minded attendees from around the table, lots of things could be discussed.

Joan Snyder assures that the finest bands around are playing - it's casual and festive and no one has preconceived notions.

I've been giving this a lot of thought and will seek sponsorship for it.

so there is that wave length....
