AEBG IV Ramblings

I had a vision...performance art. This tune, Van Bramer's Jig-get a lot of people to play it, but build it a little at a time. Imagaine 20 people playing it, including percussion. Start with a single player and add one or 2 each round. Simply build the intensity each time around. It's such a cool and hypnotic melody, with a crazy syncopated groove.

Anyway, I know it won't happen, but that was what  I saw when I was just playing it.

 

I hope this forum discussion is a free associating display of idea....as we wind into the June gathering.

It is possible to pitch a small modern tent somewhere? That is good news

 

[Elaine Masciale]

As far as I know a modern tent can indeed go back in the woods out of sight.  We would need Susan to confirm that, but I believe some of the participants from S. Carolina brought a modern tent last year.

I will be staying about fiffteen miles from Antietam in Martinsburg WV at my wife's cousin's house. If it came down to it, I'm sure we could park a tent or two there... Although I am also considering taking along my tent for camping at Antietam :-)

[Elaine Masciale]

I think camping at Antietam is amazing!!!  (But I like camping) - you wake up in the morning, are at the actual Federal headquarters, see the morning haze clear off the battlefield from the overlook....   Plus, I don't have to deal with snoring in the barn. :)

I might have a claim to earliest departure this year.  I leave momentairly for Drexel, Mo., to pick up John Allin, and thence the 17 hour drive to Gettysburg.  See you all Friday if not before!

[Nicholas A Bechtel]

Safe Travels Carl! 

[Michael Pasquerette]

Well If Carl has the earliest departure, I might have the latest - I'm less than 5 minutes from the barn. If anyone needs directions to the ice cream shop in town just let me know, only 3 doors from my house! Safe travels everyone

[Tim Twiss]

Oh man, you are close! See you there.

[Carl Anderton]

...annnd I'll bet I'm the last one to return home, 1300 hours CST.  Had a blast, loved seeing everyone.

Glad you made it back safely. Does the Mini have Auto-Pilot yet?

[Aurelia Perry]

Happy to hear that all are home safely.  I miss everybody already!
