[The above is the direct-recorded performance we did. Upon listening to it, we discovered there were a number of smaller 'subsections' that could work as pieces by themselves. Here they are, perhaps a bit more manageable than the 1.45-hour unsegmented recording. Not all of the original is represented in these excerpts, though.]

Next year is the 25th anniversary of the Roosevelt Arts Project, and as we imagined last April what we might do for the current season, I thought it would perhaps be fun to do a 'pancake breakfast' to raise money for the quarter-century celebration. Food and music -- always good together! Jill did the pancake-cooking (yay!), and Terry Pender drove all the down from his home in Hopewell Junction NY, and we surrounded those pancakes with PG ambient music. Behind us as a backdrop, I managed to get permission from Roosevelt friends/neighbors Ani Rosskam and Bill Leech to display their work. Great fun!

We had a really good turn-out, and the good friends, food, conversation and art reminded me once again how much I enjoy living here. Terry and I just played and played...

Terry Pender -- electric guitar
