[MusicTlk] This Year's Blind Musicians Group Meeting is a BYOIEvent!

[Linda Mentink]

Hello All,

Let me add that I think Turn-about is fair play! Maybe we can get 
Chris to sing for us too.  If he sings something I know, I might 
even accompany him on that keyboard, unless he wants to accompany 
himself or sing à capela.  He's accompany me on the talent show, 
so I owe him at least one!

Blessings,

Hi Musical Friends:

I know what you're thinking: "I've heard of BYOB (bring your own 
bottle), and maybe even BYOD (bring your own device), but what is 
a BYOI event?" Bring your own instrument, of course!

The leaders of the Blind Musicians Group are excited to announce 
that a portion of our meeting at this year's convention will be 
dedicated to a freewheeling "jam session" in which we will be 
able to make music together, learning from each other and having 
fun along the way.  We have observed the many posts on this list 
asking for tips on learning and playing certain instruments, and 
we have responded by organizing what we hope will be a good 
opportunity for all who are interested to bounce ideas off each 
other as we collaborate with our fellow Federation musicians.  
Who knows? We may even get Linda to sing for us!

As long as you can bring your instrument of choice to convention, 
you are welcome to join the fun! Don't worry, my fellow 
pianists—thanks to our national office, we'll have a full-sized 
keyboard available.  Singers also have nothing to fear—we know, 
of course, that our voices are instruments in their own right, 
and they are the most portable instruments in all of music.  If 
you have recently written or arranged an original song, we would 
love to hear it! So bring your instrument, some songs, and your 
enthusiasm, and join us on July 4 at 1:00 PM in Suwanee 19 for 
what is sure to be a great time.  Let's make music together!

See you in Orlando,

Chris Nusbaum and Linda Mentink, Coordinators
Blind Musicians Group
National Federation of the Blind
