A great time had in Kalamazoo!

Well, there weren't too many out of towners, but they were talented ones! John Goodin, Linda Binder and Bob Maretti (a very talented all around player) joined the Kalamazoo Mandolin Orchestra for the workshops and performances.

Lucky me, because the ringers were talented, we were able to talk Miles into letting us play (air mandolin for some parts) the entire program rather than just the workshop pieces.

Very fun - there were over 100 people in attendance at the concert.

Carlo as always, was very impressive (albeit jet-lagged the first day). I will take on his parking lot exercises to try to address tension in my left hand.

You can hear excerpts of John Goodin's piece and from the premier of Elizabeth Smart's piece here:
