and maybe if we are lucky, we'll get a chance to hear Matt's lovely wife perform too:



This will be the confluence of multiple rivers of talent, nature and fellowship!

it's about 2 hours east of you, In Altoona (Martinsburg, actually)

Maybe I could swing by on the way up or back though... I have relatives in Pittsburgh ... that would justify the trip!

Hey Mike, do you know Kenny Blake from Pittsburgh? Great funky jazz alto sax. We went to prep school together near Boston and played together often. He had a couple of jazz chart hits. Pretty sure he's based back home now.

Matt, is that the drummer who played with SpyroGyra and Blood Sweat & Tears?

Thanks! The credits at the end are too fast...

I really appreciate the "tight" comment because I had just written that song as a feature for my guitarist, and the band was sight-reading! Jeff Ciampa (guitarist) and his wife had hiked up a mountain across from my house (visible in most of my Facebook landscape photos) with my wife and me, and I named it "Just a Little Bit Higher". My band does not rehearse. I write the songs or the arrangements, record a composer's demo using BIAB, and send it to them with the sheet music. When we play live, I want it to sound like what it is: spontaneous. The occasional train wreck makes for audience fun.

Oh yes, my drummer is incredible. That's Joel Rosenblatt. He was Spyro Gyra's drummer for 13 years, and most recently the drummer for Blood Sweat & Tears. Now he freelances around New York City. He also does a lot of teaching at his studio, and records amazing drum tracks for hire.

And here's a true story about Joel, with a Lake George slant:

Joel's been with me for over ten years. Near the beginning of that time, I announced the members of the band at the concert in Lake George this way:

"and on drums, our special guest artist is the amazing Joel Rosenblatt, long-time drummer with the supergroup, Spyro Gyra. Last night he was in Colorado. Tomorrow he'll be in North Carolina, but tonight he's here with us in Lake George!"

Soon after, Joel quit Spyro Gyra. He told me that listening to my introduction that night made him feel tired!

I won't derail the thread here, I'll just leave it at that explains it! I didn't recognize him, but haven't seen him in FOREVER. Just listening, I used to get him and Dave Weckl mixed up! It's great you are playing with the caliber of player.

Matt has sent me a bunch of pics that would be of interest to anyone who plans to attend... I think I'll post them a little at a time to keep bumping the thread so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle over the next 14 months.

One of the photo subjects is a building where we could all meet and play music (or just socialize) It has a kitchen and sufficient bathroom facilities to accommodate a whole group.

So it's looking like there will definitely be a place and time for playing your music if you come prepared to do so.

I'll also be posting links to area vacation rentals and tourism sites.

More info later, dribbled at a rate that never lets this get too far out of your mind... ;-)

It would also allow some time to chart out a music video or documentary of the event.

Plenty of talent on hand, plus video and animation experts....

I'll supply my drone for aerial shots.....

OK, update to our BIAB forum get together at Lake George New York. Matt Finley just contacted me and said that the date is nailed down.

In Matt's words: "We are definite for Tuesday July 25, 2017."

That's the date of his concert. Depending on when people arrive, we can also plan to hang out together the weekend before the concert.

But we have a whole year to figure that out. For now, anyone considering attending should block out that time on the calendar so it doesn't get forgotten or booked for some other purpose.

Thanks to Matt for letting us know that date is now determined!
