Re: [Harp-L] The West Coast Jazz Harmonica Summit 2009

[Slim Heilpern <slim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all those kind words, Rob!

I think I can speak for everyone involved in saying that we all had a  
blast that evening -- it was a really fun project all around.

Just wanted to clarify that the DVD is not actually available yet from  
Amazon, the page is up there, but they haven't actually got the DVDs  
in hand yet -- you can pre-order if you're so inclined, at the  
reasonable price of $24.95. Just keep in mind that I'm planning to  
have it on sale for the splendid price of $20 at SPAH and also very  
soon on FilmBaby.com.

In the meantime, you can watch a trailer here: http://www.JazzHarmonicaSummit.com

- Slim.
