TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY

WELCOME TO PALM PRODUCTIONS MUSIC DISCUSSION SITE. EACH WEEK I WILL PROVIDE MY LATEST INSIGHTS INTO THE FANTASTIC (AND NOT SO FANTASTIC) VIEWS OF THE LATEST IN MUSIC.....NOT JUST THE SAN DIEGO MUSIC SCENE BUT WHATEVER COMES ACROSS MY DESK. I HAVE BEEN IN (AND INTO) MUSIC MY WHOLE LIFE AND WANT TO SHARE MY THOUGHT AND OBSERVATION WITH THE WORLD (WIDE WEB). I WILL TELL YOU OF MY ADVENTURES IN AUSTIN (SXSW, ACLFEST) AND THE FESTIVAL SCENE IN SAN DIEGO.

MY FIRST RECOMMENDATION......'THE REFLECTACLES' OUT OF LA!!!! HEARD THEM FIRST AT THE ADAMS AVENUE ROOTS FESTIVAL (AS GREAT FREE SOCAL FESTIVAL IN SAN DIEGO). THE SING LIKE C,S,N&Y AND THE EAGLES WITH BEAUTIFULLY STACKED 4 AND 6 PART HARMONIES . YOUNG KIDS (26ish), INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. THEY HAVE MASTERED THE ECLECTIC SOUND OF COMBINING FOLK, BLUES AND BLUEGRASS WITH PUNK LYRICS AND HAVE A NICE MIX OF ACOUSTIC GUITAR, PIANO, BANJO (YES....BANJO) WITH ELECTRIC GUITAR, BASS AND CREATIVE, TIGHT DRUMMER (BY WILLIE NELSON'S YOUNGEST SON)........CHECK THEIR MYSPACE....AND WATCH FOR THE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS COMING SOON..... http://www.myspace.com/thereflectacles
