                          Dave Hardy presents a celebration of John Goddard and his extraordinary record store Village Music, located in Mill Valley, California. (If you've never been there, click here to see what you've been missing!)

The event will be held on Sunday, September ninth, 2007, at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, California. The address of the Great American Hall is: 859 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco.

Join us as we give thanks and love to John for his contribution to local music lovers, International performing artists, and YOU!

It’s such a great pleasure for me to offer public entrance to this event. The rules of admittance are outlined below.

Also, know that this event will be recorded and videotaped. Your acceptance of tickets states your approval of images and audio of yourself to be used in any manner. The documentary may be shown in theaters, or released on DVD or other media. Photographs will also be shot during the course of the night.

Following the event, I’ll post photos of the show at my site.

Here are some important things to remember:

  1. Bring your Driver’s License to identify yourself when picking up or buying tickets.
  2. Do not bring devices that take photos, record audio or video.
  3. Cell phones must be set to "Silent" setting, and used with consideration to your neighbors. If an emergency arises, and you need to use it, please step away from those enjoying the show.
  4. Do not use your cell phone to take photos or video.
  5. Balcony tickets provide a seat for the ticket holder in the balcony, on a first come, first served basis, and seats are not reserved. There is no access allowed to the tables on the main floor.
  6. Security Staff may eject persons from the venue who choose to not follow the rules.
  7. Have a great time. It’s going to be a very memorable night!

The Ticket Window at the Great American Music Hall will open at 4:00 PM on the day of the show for ticket sales. Limited seating is available to the public for this event. Tickets will be $200. each, and are cash sales. Since this is basically a private party, we are not able to use traditional methods of credit card charges which involve the Great American Music Hall's usual purchasing conveniences. We will be offering special T-shirts made for this event at the party, so prepare for other cash purchases if you wish. T-shirt design courtesy of Geoff Gans, Bob Dylan's highly respected poster artist.

Doors are scheduled to open at 5:00 PM and the event goes from 6:00 until 10:00 PM. Please see FAQ about Great American Music Hall parking and dinner menu details. A sample menu is:
