I'm as serious as I am normally - ;) Sure, some people who were at the party posted some pictures. I'd be glad to furnish them. Here they are: http://www.flickr.com/groups/raycodringtonparty/pool/ http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2054294&id=66106565 One of my favorites is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36535750@N04/3552362333/in/pool-raycodringtonpa rty (not everyone in the picture got to play, but all of them are great musicians) I will say that it was a party "for musicians, by musician". It was an Appreciation for Ray Codrington - a local jazz musician that is a favorite of many of the jazz guys in the local area. There were about 120 people there, 97% were musicians. At any given time, there were about 80 people. I noticed that Julien Claassen has said he had listened to Eddie Harris while growing up. One of Eddie's jazz classics is a song called "Freedom Jazz Dance". Ray Codrington was the trumpet player on that recording done back in the mid 60s. One thing I will seriously share is that this really is my first Linux audio piece, and I am figuring out how to make it all work. There are probably a few steps I left out or didn't completely describe. ;) However, let me flip the tape over and see if I can somehow get another song loaded up on Garageband... I'll point to it when it becomes available. -Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: James Stone [mailto:jamesmstone@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2009 11:03 AM > To: linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: My first Linux audio recording... > > Are you serious!!?? > > Sound quality is amazing - how many mics were used?
