Hurricane NY

[juan]

I hope those of you who live in the menaced area are OK.

Support and best wishes from Madrid.

An idea for a piece: before you go to the root cellar and nail the door down, set up some simple reeds, an aeolian harp, chimes and an air horn (and a microphone) and really "record" the storm.

Did you get that from the film Twister?

[Kevin]

Hope you will be okay Steve

[juan]

I just received an email from Mike Micara, who lives in the storm path, apparently the storm has reached his place today, but he is OK so far. I hope Steve and others living in the area are fine as well. I guess there will be electricity and internet outage, but I hope they will notify us they are well in a few days, as soon as Irene has done with her wrath.

Well this seems to be the eye of the storm, very quiet and my ears popped from the pressure change. Must say, first half was non-event in my neighborhood. Will see what the rest of the day brings... Travel still more or less impossible as trains won't be back till tomorrow and streets are supposedly flooded in many areas - am grateful no power outage here as yet.

Wish I had read this last night! Lol not that I own any reeds or harps.

Good to hear from you. Stay safe.

Hello Everyone...Well we survived Irene, but lost power for a few days and had to take all the food from the refrigerator to a friends house so it wouldn't spoil; oh yes, and a birch tree came crashing down into our pool, but all is well. I've been busy working on an arrangement of Juan's wonderful piece called Zarabanda; almost ready to it out, just getting the mp3 together. This is my last week of vacation and it's back to work Thursday!

[michaelm]

Steve, how did you fair in my hometown Brooklyn? We were hit pretty hard here.
Hope all is well.

You have a pool!!??

[steve]

Irene was a non-event here. No flooding. No loss of power. I'm quite grateful, really :-) Hope you're back up and running and all cleaned up.

[michaelm]

You have a pool!!??
Yes, Steve....it was here when we bought the house.
You are welcome to use it any time; just 45 mins. away!

LOL thanks but that was Kevin asking about it - I swim in the new pool at the college near me and occasionally the ocean at Providenciales ;-)

Seriously maybe some summer day in future you should hold a jam session of sorts - if you know enough players to make it worthwhile. A poolside jamfest!

[michaelm]

Oops! Well, I know it's quite a distance to travel just for a dip, but Kevin is welcome as well!
A Jamfest; we have had many here! Unfortunately, it's been quite some time since I played my drum kit; miss it!

[Kevin]

It seems we are to get a little bit of what you had tomorrow Mike!
