All Aspects of the Music Industry ... Where It All Comes Together.
Andy Hoke will set a new Guinness World Record for playing the guitar continuously.
Beginning at 9am October 23rd and ending sometime on Sunday, October 26, Andy Hoke will set a new Guinness World Record for playing the guitar continuously.
In February of this year, he set a new record by playing for 45 hours and 29 minutes.
In June, some 14 year old in India playing for 53 hours - the audacity!
So, Andy will be taking the record back this fall. Please help support Andy!! Witnesses are needed to make sure he sticks to the rules. RSVP to Andy and let him know when you can be there. I am helping Andy in any way I can and hope you all will also. This is good for Pgh, the blues community, music in general and so on.
Perhaps we can for now start a calendar for volunteers to take a block, etc. I will post all information I can get with and from Andy to this network, my site, every other on I can find. Perhaps you all could add a plug at your sites also.
Visit www.andyhoke.com to see the Official Guinness Certificate from the successful February attempt
Hope to hear from you all soon and see you in October at the Thunderbird Cafe (Lawrenceville, PA at the intersection of Butler Street and the 40th Street bridge).
This news is part of an e-mail from Andy that I have posted to start a discussion for suggestions on how to enhance and promote this event. PLEASE, reply with suggestions, you are a wealth of talent and knowledge and contacts to make this a home grown record!!
I have also started a Discussion Forum for suggestions. My thanks to all.

Thanks so much to Dave Yoho and to Tony Maggio and the many others who made this event a success. I played 1000 songs over the course of over 60 hours for a new record!!!
I'll be sending in the stuff to Guinness for them to send me the official certificate, and I really thank all those helped bring this world record back to Pittsburgh!!!!!!!
