Sunshine Brass Band of Tampa Bay

If you'd like get your very own vanity email address to show your band pride, they available immediately and without cost.

Just drop me a line, tell me what email address under @sunshinebrass.com you'd like. You'll also have two options in how it works:

• You can have a totally separate email box from your normal emails -- OR
  
• You can have yourname@sunshinebrass.com simply redirect to your existing email.
  

There is growing interest within the band in forming a competition-quality brass quintet.

We don't have to limit ourselves to five players, of course. We are all busy professionals, and will have schedule conflicts and occasional emergencies like anyone else, so it would great to have a pool of 10 or 12 people that we can rely on to serve as alternates for each other. In this way, we will be able to reliably represent that band at EVERY opportunity, rather than just the ones that match five individuals' schedules.

This also means we can mix it up and spread the fun around!

Our VPS provider (vaserv.com) lost 100,000 webhost accounts on Sunday, due to 24 unpatched vulnerabilities in HyperVM, and they are still down with egg on their faces. I was able to restore all my sites (this one is 1 of about 12) to a similar host from a different company (neosurge.com) within 3 hours. It was operating fine all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday up until about 9pm last night. Then neosurge.com went down, because they were ALSO running HyperVm. I have been working to restore my backups again to a third company (VPSLand, which is NOT based on HyperVM), and now we are up!
