As much as I'd like to say that I know everything that there is to know, I don't (which is why I got a C in college algebra). So, here goes. I've seen this on other fan-sites, and thought why not. So, if you've got a question, let me know. If you know the answer, let me or the asker know. Or both, and I'll put the answers here too. I got the idea from a Vince Gill fan page that had a Q & A section. Wish I could get to the page again and check it out.
Question 1 (not really a question, but hey) How can I send
Christi information like text files, graphics, etc.
- Answer - just send it. But, and this is a complicated part,
I don't have the capabilities to handle everything, especially stuff sent
from AOL, who do things differently from everyone else on the internet.
Your best bet with
graphics or text is to send it as an attached file to my current account.
Question 2: (asked by many people) Does anyone know where to get sheet music for any Dirt Band songs???
Answer: check out the list of addresses on the Finding NGDB Music page - I have a few addresses there.
Question 3: Randy Beren is looking for a poster that came with Dirt Silver and Gold. (I didn't even know there was one!). Anyone have any ideas??
Answer: (November 10, 1997) Well, I've heard from a few people who have seen or own the poster, but no one knows were to get one. The best bet seems to be checking out used vinyl/record stores - they may have a copy of Dirt Silver and Gold that still has the poster. Ebay or other online auction or store sites may also be a lead.
Question 4: When will we see sound files, video clips, and other goodies??
Answer Not soon, basically, for two reasons - space, and copyright issues. Sound and video files take lots of space, and I don't have the equipment to create them anyway. There are also copyright issues involved, and since I don't have the money to pay royalties or the time to hunt down copyright releases, they won't be appearing here soon.
Ibby's site at Aspen OnLine does have some sound clips from the solo album he's done; I don't know if there will be any NGDB clips up there or not.
Question 5: What's the Band's tour schedule?
Answer: I've given up on trying to keep that updated, it wasn't working. Pollstar.com has a very good, up-to-date list, and you can have them email you when the schedule is updated.
