798.0. "PK to USA OK?" by MINDER::KENT () Tue May 12 1987 07:39

    
    Well I guess It's now safe to announce this as I've ordered the
    tickets..
    
    I will be visiting the Boston/Spitbrook area around the weekend
    of the 24-26 July. I would really like to meet some of you guys
    so that I can put a face to all those names. Maybe we could even
    play a little music. Will anybody be free that weekend? I have already
    had offers of accomodation from Monsieur Cote which I may yet take
    him up on. (which he may regret). How's about it chaps?

    You're right.  Looks like time for the Second Annual MIDIJam at
    my house!  End of July sounds good.  I even have a gas grill now.

798.5Hey, let's not hire a professional sound man...BARNUM::RHODESThu May 14 1987 12:389
Well, if this is the place to chuck in an RSVP, here mine is.  I'll be
at this one.

We should probably wait until 2 weeks before the event to decide on who
brings what.  We don't want people to get sick of hearing about it from now
until the end of July, now do we.

Todd.

798.7Dueling Arpeggios at 88 KeysDRUMS::FEHSKENSThu May 14 1987 18:599
    Uh, Karl, that was supposed to be a secret.  Everybody was expecting
    a dancing horse in a pink tutu, and know they all know it's just
    you.  Don't worry though, Karen promised to reserve a big area for
    you and see that the kitchen was well stocked with hay.  And Arpeggio
    Joe said we could jam with him but he won't give up the keyboard
    seat.

798.8if i break his arm then he can't playSALSA::MOELLERThere's no film in this chimera!Thu May 14 1987 19:578
    'Arpeggio Joe' ? don't tell me.. plays at the piano bar.. lots of
    major seventh arpeggios.. plays standards with lots of chord
    substitutions...
    
    ... the only chops I've got left are used reading manuals and MIDI
    implementation charts.. killer arpeggiator on the Emax, tho

798.9Irrelevant Friday Morning ObservationsDRUMS::FEHSKENSFri May 15 1987 12:3815
    Uh, you know Joe, huh?  I think his MTBA (Mean Time Between Arpeggios)
    must be the lowest I've ever heard.
    
    Is that what MBA stands for - Master of (piano) Bar Arpeggios?
    
    We (all us LEDS-BIMers) agree that we wish we had Joe's fingers,
    we'd just use'em differently.
    
    Promise you won't make fun of him?  We like Karen too much to get
    ourselves thrown out of the place.
    
    What does this have to do with COMMUSIC?

    (I know who it is...nyaa, nyaa, na ,nyaa nyaa!)

798.13spiral upward, chromatics down!JON::ROSSNetwork partner excited first tryMon May 18 1987 17:538
    
    so? cantcha hack a coupla?
    
    I can hear 3 kbd'ists doing essentially the same
    version of a song, but each one doing their own
    brand of arpeg. and chromatic fills. good idea...
    
    
798.14Oh S**t !MINDER::KENTTue May 19 1987 07:1314
    
    
    Er.. Back to the original topic. I have to admit to complete
    embarrassment over the fact that I got the dates slightly wrong.
    I will be in N.Y. on the weekend of the proposed Midijam. Any prblems
    with putting back our arrangements to the weekend of the 1st,2nd
    of August. ]

    old tubes ?
    
    Looking forward to it !
