| Donna Nolan was the webmaster at sonomatunes.com and maintained a blues festival page for many years. Her festival page was the link from this site as well as dozens of others. Unfortunately, she terminated sonomatunes.com in December, 2009. Donna was kind enough to forward last year's festival page to me and I will attempt to keep it updated as well as she did. Many thanks to Donna for all her work over the years. |
