Spreading the Transforming Power of Improvisation

BYO 'lightweight' musical instruments to Portland!

Hi Folks, An improv conference wouldn't be complete without music! I will pack my 'lightweight', Gibson-Backpacker guitar, my slide and my gravely blues singing voice. If anyone play the blues harp, bring along the keys of C and A.

What are you going to bring to the Portland Jam!?

Looking forward to mixing-it-up with everyone next month!

Cheers

Geoff

Welcome to AIN! I'm on my way to Portland later today from San Francisco, so I'll get a chance to meet you there. Thought of bringing my uke, per your request, but I'm trying to travel light (for a change!) so it may not happen. I do love to sing though, so let's get together during the conference.

I'm also on my way to Australia right after the conference for a month! (my first trip there--I'm so excited!) I will be in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Hobart. Are you near any of those?

Take care,

Look forward to meeting you. I am sure there will be plenty of instruments to loan while you are here :-)

And yes, I am about 2 hours out of Melbourne in a great part of Victoria called "The Surf Coast". A wee town called Aireys Inlet.

See you later today.

I am going to bring my djembe drum, and both my hands. My charming smile and shwanky accent will (hopefully) disguise the fact that I am really a beginner drummer... despite what some of my friends say...
