Sometimes, there is just too much good stuff to do.  Such was the case with the 2011 Los Angeles Guitar Festival held at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center this past weekend:  despite wanting to see the vast array of performers on both July 2nd and 3rd, other priorities held sway and I could not squeeze it onto the schedule.  Fortunately for me and any of the rest of you who may have missed it, the festival is likely to be an annual event; start planning ahead for a dash down to the South Bay next year.
