[Slowhand] CGF - 2013

[S K]

Hello everyone,
 
I have a few remarks about next year's Guitar Festival.
 
First of all, I don't think its right that your bank affiliation should decide wether you get a seat or not. This is just wrong. And although Chase probably pours money into the festival, I don't see the logic in why the first 30 rows (or more?) would be filled up with people with the right colour on their credit card.
 
Secondly, and although I deeply appreciate familiar faces like Doyle, Buddy, BB, Mayer, Cray, its a fact that with the possible exception of ABB, there are NO surprises on the list of participants. Where are possible invitees like Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Pete Townshend, Mark Knophler or Neil Young? Or why not Prince? Or Dave Gilmore? I know EC is not the biggest fan of Jimmy Page, but..  I really would have welcomed a bit of change.
 
I guess I will be trying to get hold of a ticket on the 30th anyway...
