Seeing as how I know just how far QC is from Michigan, is the festival worth the long, long drive?

[Tombo 7/4]

Ah Ah!! You now know the distance
This festival moved from Montreal to Quebec last year in the heart of our beautilfu city in the best souding venue I've ever heard.
Ralph was at the Dennis Chambr clinic this Tuesday and presented the festival, what he strives for is to get the drummers to play with musicians as much as possible. That's why the event has a larger audience and has been going on for so long.
For myself I couldn't stand drums/tracks only for two days.

Poor Jeff. I guess he's only interested in his cars now. Looks like his manager calls the shots.
