Music Recap


Music Recap
Well, my Day of Music (tm) was really successful. I knew I was being optimistic when I invited a bunch of people who had never played together before (some hadn't played in years, some hadn't played with others at all) and expected it to go well. In fact, it went better than that.
So, where's the (un-)promised MP3 file? Sorry, the DAT recorder wasn't working. Maybe next time.

Group Creativity
One of my memories from high school is helping to paint some scenery for a play one weekend. Despite most of us having little to no artistic talent, we managed to put something reasonable together (guided by the talented few). It was a pretty cool community-building feeling, and I've often wondered how to recreate it.
I guess the musical equivalent would be one of those sing-it-yourself Messiahs that get arranged around holidays. I once did one for Faure's Requiem with my brother. It was a lot of fun (:

More Music
One of the unexpected results of this Day of Music is the opportunity to play with a local combo. I've met with them once so far, and we've got our first gig on the Sunday before Valentine's Day.
