HW/OFF: Touring Galore

[Keith Henderson]

OK folks...for some reason, this last year of the millenium is turning out
to be a wonderful bonanza of great tours.  Let's get out there and support
live music. Somewhere....anywhere.

Here's what I know...if there's more, let me know!

As always, check your local listings for confirmation!
