A successful FAAC, and other news

This blog has been quiet lately; apologies from the authors! Things have been hectic during May, what with the First Annual Alanological Conference. The main conference took place in Grand Junction, Colorado in conjunction with an Alanesque Art Show. However, one Alanologist, Russ Montney, also made a pilgrimage to Mississippi where he jammed and conferred with Alanological Engineer Bob Walters. Other Alanologists including Kyle Fosburgh of the Blind Owls band celebrated Alan through musical performances in various parts of the Midwest. We're excited to hear -- and see -- all these different ways that fans have found to celebrate Alan's spirit and musical legacy.

In other exciting news, users of Facebook will want to join a group dedicated to encouraging Canned Heat's acceptance into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Check it out today. And if you are not already on Facebook, why not join today? You can also join a group dedicated to Alanology, interact with other blues and roots music fans, and connect with Alan's biographer.
