Its a straight shot down Merlin Galice Road--if you get to the Galice store you've gone too far----there's plenty of parking around the building and across from the front--in a real big "turnout"... you'll see the cars---

A Rogue and Poet welcome...
I want to acquaint you with Dan Doshier - and his business Off the Wall Music in Central Point. Dan offers a wonderful collection of new and used equipment. He loves to deal with vintage instruments and he really knows his stuff. I met Dan at a "jam" out at Thunderridge ranch - and I can attest the man is an astounding songwriter. You might have caught him locally playing in his band Dandelion Jo
Anyway, stop by his shop - you'll be able to find some interesting instruments and gear and you'll probably be handed a guitar and find yourself jammin'.
Something "NEW"
I've always want a comic strip or cartoon for this site and thanks to poet and now cartoon creator Glen Graves I've got one. I would love to highlight a local cartoonist weekly. So - send them if you've got them!!!
Music Video of the Week
I was in Larry's Music in Grants Pass and the guys showed me this video from local studs Dry Season man this is good - really good.
Slideshow of the Week
These great photo's from area photographer Howard Cook will remind us just how beautiful the Rogue Valley and Oregon coast are. Howard also has the ability to print photo's in large format... very cool

I made a trade with Larry's Music I get a nice ad in their bi-weekly newsletter - and I get this nifty "flash" for my website. What's really cool is that you can click on the items in this and buy them right here - right now!
Thousands of cool items available
Site Changes
Over the past month I can boast a number of notable changes occurring here on Rogue and Poet. The biggest change is that Heidi (the wife) has decided to join forces with me and in doing so she has taken on the Fine Arts - Dance and Local Theatre Calendars to great result. The fact that she is a graphics whiz doesn't hurt either.
Also "NEW" is what I've done with the Poetry Page and "Poets in particular. Presently we are featuring a Poem of the Week and all contributing poets get a page of their own on which their contributions are posted.
Also "NEW" is we've added a "FORUM". I have long felt we needed a place for musicians to find one another and I hope this forum becomes that place.
I'm starting to get nibbles from advertisers and "Sellers". That means that over the next few months you should see a lot more stuff showing up in the sidebars: Ads for businesses - and ads for stuff the site is selling. I'm also discovering that I need to find new ways to keep interesting stuff available. Some of the reviews I've done - some of the slideshows that have been posted - these are things that should have some shelf life. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this yet but look for info and changes in that direction shortly.
One other note is that soon I need to get flyers out. Local artists have found Rogue and Poet but now I need to put much more emphasis on the "locals" finding the website. Any thing you can do from your end will help; give me links on your websites, or just spread the word.
