The annual Savannah Music Festival is one of the largest and most diverse music festivals in the southeastern United States and is truly “Southern, Soulful and Sophisticated”. This unparalleled 18-day musical feast will take place March 15 through April 1, 2007 in one of America’s most historic cities, offering a multitude of one-time-only performances and world premieres. The Festival’s distinctive line-up showcases indigenous music from the Deep South, originally conceived chamber music, and a wealth of internationally renowned musicians representing an abundance of musical styles and genres. Whether experiencing glorious arias in remarkably intimate venues or dancing the night away under moss-draped oaks, music aficionados and fun-seekers alike will enjoy the beautiful springtime in one of the South’s most soulful cities.

“You could be just weeks away from learning a skill that has the potential of earning you millions and millions of dollars,” the web site assures you. This is a promise made by MakeGoodTeeth.com, a Savannah-based web site and company that teaches people to make gold choppers. They go on to explain: “Gold teeth have absolutely exploded in popularity over the past several years and you’re about to be offered an opportunity to cash in on this craze. You can’t turn the TV on these days without seeing someone with a full set of gold grillz in their mouth.” Where do I sign? Well, if I had an extra $4,800 kicking around and more than $3,000 for school supplies, I’d go to www.makegoldteeth.com.
