[Harp-L] SPAH 2007 ideas

[randy singer <randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have about 100 great photos from spah.

it would be a great idea if there were a central spah photo website  
page where ANYONE who has photos from any spah conventions could  
click on the year and upload their photos.

this way, other people could click on a link and view hundreds of  
photos from different people for the spah convention they attended.

ALSO------

thanks to everyone who attended for making spah 2007 a great success.  
Especially a big thanks to tom stryker, paul davies and all the  
volunteers who devoted much time and love. Also to JASON RICCI who  
was everywhere all the time and actually learned how to make music on  
the chord harmonica in two days!!!!!! His dedication is incredible.  
Thanks to buzz for his amazing blues jam (and electric blue pants),  
michael peloquin for his musicianship and enthusiasm, ron kalina for  
his expert piano playing, elizabeth for her heartfelt presence, pt  
gazelle for his kind and ferocious music, howard levy, allan holmes  
for his killer surprise version of round midnight, slim, jeffrey  
grossberg, smokey joe, charles sprankling, jim loehman, bob herndon,  
brendan power and everyone else who attended the jazz jam.

ALSO--------

it was great to see so much jamming, and appreciation for all styles  
of music. Especially wonderful was the presence of several  
youngsters, (approximate age 15) who were playing with precision and  
maturity.

I would advocate that perhaps next year, we can do a youth concert on  
a thursday or friday night and showcase the young kids to encourage  
them to play and attend. They are our future.

BEST,

randy singer
