Number 49 August 4, 2010

I attended the California Audio Show as a guest of my producer Cookie Marenco, and her label Blue Coast Records.  Gus Skinas brought out his Sonoma Systems recorder from Denver.  This is the same system we used to record Emily Palen on solo violin at Grace Cathedral.  I performed for a live recording session on Friday afternoon, and Emily and Jason McGuire and Keith Greeninger and many other friends of Cookie performed throughout the weekend.  It was gratifying to see how appreciative the audiophiles were of live, improvised performances.  I got the impression most of them don't go out to hear live music very often. You can listen to our performances, and download them, by going to the Blue Coast web site and registering for free.
