GT(Th):Purdue University "Ministry of Funny Noises" Concert
(12/15/2008)
(all mp3 files)
My old friend and former business partner (we co-founded
Zounds Productions
back in the late 1970's) Rick Thomas invited us out to play on his
new "Ministry of Funny Noises" artist series at my old Alma Mater,
Purdue Unversity. We shared the venue with his
class, all Purdue students who had done amazing work in
developing a collaborative laptop piece. Terry had commitments back in
New York so couldn't come, but
Gregory was able to make the trek down from Madison,
Wisconsin for the weekend. We asked Rick to play acoustic guitar
with us, and fortunately for us he happily obliged. The last three
pieces above are from the concert, the others are rehearsals done
prior to the show.
It was really terrific, my friend Dave Fulton and his wife Sherry
(as well as others) dropped by to say hello -- what a time!
Like a dummy, I only took a few pictures. Check back here if you
want, though, because I think I can get copies of additional photos, possibly
even a video, of the event.
