Peter Van Ness Writes-
Dear Joey,
You’ve been telling me since December that we JUST HAD to get the Local MusicSeen shows on the Web. Well, we finally got our first archive video published thanks to the help of our very talented and resourceful Web editor Jon Cooney.
See it here http://localmusicseen.com/BanditKings.cfmIn order to make it work best on the Web, Jon cut it into 3 parts. I’ve published all 3 on a single page so you can watch the entire show at once if you like.
We picked The Bandit Kings show for our archive debut for several reasons — some technical — but mostly because it’s a SUPERB SHOW! Performances are stellar; the energy reaches through the screen and grabs you; songwriting is inspired — and they look so good on camera!
Hope you enjoy it — and remember, Joey, when you speak we listen!

Dear Joey,
Since the original premiere of Local Music Seen with Allen Estes, scheduled for last night at 6:30pm, was thwarted by a Cape-wide blackout, I thought your viewers might want to know when they can catch the premiere.
You can see the premiere on Cape Ann TV Channel 12 tomorrow-Friday, December 3rd at 1pm and this Sunday, December 5th at 6pm. It will air again on Wednesday, December 8th at 6:30pm.
Go to www.localmusicseen.com for more info.
Thanks,
