Wow, so Mr. Dave Richoux just posted an alert to the Streetband list (see sidebar) about the HORNUCOPIA festival - a festival of horns and brass - happening in in Bay Area this September. The lineup looks divine -- Frank London's SF Klezmer Brass All-Stars (call me provincial, but I didn't know about his second group of all-stars out west!), Brass Menazeri, Extra Action Marching Band, Brass Liberation Orchestra, Polkacide, the Yard Dogs, and some other groups, for example: Lord Loves a Working Man (hope it's a Steve Martin reference), the Shotgun Wedding Quintet, and the Brass Mafia. More than 35 bands are in the lineup! You west coasters should check it out - and get excited about the marvelous proliferation of the not-so-clandestine street band underground... AND REPORT BACK!
