Many, many thanks to Travis Bean for a GREAT write-up in the Daily Egyptian re: Writing The Rails.  It was great meeting him last night at the show @ Longbranch Coffee House (which was made possible thanks to Travis’ lead…and with the HUGE help from Lucas and crew of Longbranch as well…)

Here’s an excerpt from said article:

“…Jones said Kav thought about it and decided to start planning the tour over the summer.  She said Amtrak chose not to sponsor the event, but the tour may convince Amtrak to sponsor future tours.  New artists would be used for other tours in order to reach out to more charities, she said…”

Also have to give a HUGE shout-out to Kent, a local SIU alumnus who saw the article in the Daily Egyptian and came to check out the show.  He stayed for the entire show and it was a pleasure to meet and talk with him afterwards.  Many thanks to all!  More to come!  :D
