MMMday update

MMM day is going to happen, and it's going to happen around April 7,
or thereabouts. A celebration of what happens every day.

So we want to get lots and lots of music recorded for a
giganto-podcast. You're all invited to submit, of course, and if you
can get your friends to MMM for a day too, all the better. (And hey,
technically you don't have to do it that day if you're going to be
busy, just submit it by then.)

I want to get an idea of how many / who many can participate, so if
you're interested, go to http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/MMMDay06
and add your name to the list. Just click the "Edit" button and go,
it's that simple. (And if you like the idea of a microtonal wiki,
stick around!)

Maybe I should cross-post this to tuning, huh?

I assumed it had been called off for lack of interest. I've heard
exactly zero comments to the effect that someone has submitted
something. Had I thought anyone cared, I might have done so.

Geeeeez, that short a notice!!! I'll do my best to get something happening, but for those with bizzy-buzzy lives, this ain't a cakewalk! :)

Okay-dokay.

Submit it where & how? Maybe the Wiki page should have some info...?

Make it on April 8th, and it'll be on my birthday.

No way! Mine too! Does that make it any easier for people? If you have a Saturday?

As for lack of interest, there was no real way to gauge interest until people sign up...

And my half birthday. Have been dry for a while, but I'll throw
something small on the fire.

It won't be my birthday at all. And I bet it won't be David Beardsley's birthday either.

There's Howard Hanson of Wahoo, Nebraska. If you recall the end of
Alien, Hanson's second symphony plays comfortingly in the background.
I favor the guy because he once went on tour with my great uncle Gustav.

Gustav Holmquist, a well-known regional draw in the Chicago area in
the teens and early twenties as a baritone, enough so that RCA
released a couple of records. Like most long dead performing artists
besides the most famous, now completely lapsed into obscurity.
Googling turned up only one reference.
