Tom Munch: Start page & ask about B1 slipcovers

I figured we could discuss some of these dates here as well.

When did the original B1 slipcover come out? I was thinking December 2003.

Acoustic Guitar Tone & the L1®

Tom Munch: take out an extra "&"

''Here are some initial ideas on getting acoustic guitar tone.''

I feel that great tone is in your fingers & how you adjust to what you hear. I played three guitars at the gig last night - a Collings flattop, a Godin nylon solid body, & a Yamaha L5 copy. All of them sounded great according to a couple guitarists I respect in the audience. I spent just a little time getting the right presets before the gig, & the rest was just listening & adjusting attack & style in the first couple minutes of playing each guitar during the
performance - no EQ changes, just volume, pick or finger angle, attack, &
muting.

I'm convinced most guitarists just don't listen & adjust to the minute
differences that make good tone great. Some are also deaf or have different ideas of what makes good tone. I've had other guitarists pick up one of my guitars that I can't get good tone out of & within a minute have tone I've never gotten out of that instrument.

'''From the forum "Tom Munch's Acoustic Guitar Sound" 5/4/2006'''<ref>[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6366055944/m/8101040623?r=8101040623#8101040623 Tom Munch's Acoustic Guitar Sound] discussion on the Bose Musician's Message Boards</ref>

Let's talk about acoustic tone. I searched for the holy grail for years. I have a couple dozen pickups & a dozen high-end preamps to show for it.

The funny thing about my rig in Big Sur was that I had 2 guitars with completely different pickup systems & 2 different preamp systems, so it couldn't have been the pickups or the preamps that made the tone. Right? Well, yes, & no. I'm assuming that Ken liked the tone of both guitars.

The pickups for both guitars were very nice & had been tweaked a lot to get the sound I wanted.

One guitar was a Goodall grand concert with a Sunrise, a Fishman SBT (soundboard transducer), & a Joe Mills mic. A custom 4-conductor plug & jack (TRRS) fed each of the pickup signals through a 9-conductor cord (built for 3 discrete mic signals) to 2 Fishman Pocket Blender preamps. Blender 1 processed the Sunrise & SBT & mixed those to the pickup channel on Blender 2 while the Joe Mills went to the mic channel on Blender 2. The Sunrise was EQ'd with bass full up & the treble full down. The SBT was flat on bass & to 3 o'clock on the treble. The Mills mic was EQ'd with bass at 3 o'clock (or full up, I can't remember) & the treble about 11:00. The output of Blender 2 then went to channel 3 of the L1.

[[Image:TomMunchAvatar01.jpg|right|Tom and his Pederson taken at Big Sur April 2006]]
The other guitar was a Pederson small body custom guitar with a triple system from Pickup-the-World (2 top sensors & 1 under-saddle sensor) & a Joe Mills mic. The combined PUTW pickups & the Mills mic went through a stereo jack & plug through a Mogami 6-conductor cord (built for 2 discrete mic signals) to a Rane AP 13 preamp. The PUTW was EQ'd with the 40 Hz at 6dB boost & the rest flat, & the Mills mic was EQ'd with the Low Cut at about 250 Hz & the rest flat.

The Mills mic was the only common element of both systems.

Here's the kicker. Most of this stuff is old tech with all of the modeling technology & newer stuff out there. My philosophy is to get your tone in the ballpark & then do the rest with your fingers. There was a great post at Christmastime a year ago by a great bass player who said he got most of his tone from his fingers. He prided himself on being able to get good sound on most any bass & any system. I feel that is also where most of my tone comes from. Pick or nail angle, attack, amount of flesh, etc. are as important as all the outboard gear.

I experimented last weekend with this concept by taking an old guitar out to the gig with an average pickup system & forcing myself to get good tone out of it. It took a couple tunes, but I got it dialed in where I was pretty content.

I used to like to do unconventional things like play an electric guitar through a keyboard amp to prove to myself that the gear didn't matter that much. At the end of the night I had people saying they loved my tone & asking what I was using. Go figure.

My best advice is to really listen & be intuitive to get good tone. I've heard some great guitars sound horrible & some bad guitars sound pretty good over the years. At least the L1 really lets you hear what tone you are making, so you are halfway there. Use your ears & experiment. Every situation is different.

Ken mentioned something about the room. The beauty of the L1 is that the room doesn't interfere with guitar tone near as much, & feedback is not near the issue that it is with standard systems. When I play with a full band my tone is just as cutting as the lead guitar player. That had never happened before the L1.

There are lots of good pickups on the market these days, & lots of guitars with high-end pickups already built in. My best advice is to get the best guitar with the best pickup system you can, & then really listen to your tone (through an L1, of course). Listen to when your tone sounds squashed from overplaying. Listen to when your pick angle or finger technique makes the guitar sound more acoustic & more real. Be attentive to this sound & work to make that attention an unconscious part of your playing & sound. The unconscious attention is the key to most good playing anyway. You could call it being in the zone too.

'''Cliff Henricksen's comments in the same thread:'''

Working with Ron Carter and tweaking his sound with my 1/3 octave (EQ), Ron looked at me, smiled, held up his right hand, fingers spread apart, and said "here's MY equalizer". I said "oh yeah, you are so right".

I think that what it comes down to in the quest for tone is the goal of the player, what they want to hear. Often this is the result of hearing really fine tone, like what Tom delivered in the Hidden Barn (at Big Sur). While I'm touched, as always, to hear that our technology empowered Tom to achieve his tone, it's really his thoughts that allowed him to get there and not the technology.

So many string players, especially the experienced ones, will tell you "it's in the fingers". It's so true. And so, for the tone-pilgrim that has yet to arrive in the land of The Magic, stay steadfast in your search and it will all happen. Just have faith, be patient and work, work, work.

'''Another thought from me on that thread:'''

One of the things that is most important is the touch. You hear great players talk about this all the time. What I posted vocally about playing at 40% with intensity - that's what it's all about for me. It's like stroking a cat softly around the ears, or feathering your car's throttle ever so lightly, or kissing your love with great passion & gentle tenderness. Do the same thing for your guitar. (I know how odd this sounds - LOL.)

''Here's what I had posted about vocals...''

''...one of the things I did was turn up the master to 2 o'clock & then whisper into the mic. I believe in playing with intensity at 40% instead of the 80% that most guys like to play at. That can make a HUGE difference in tone.''

'''Another thought - 3/13/2007, Finding the Sweet Spot'''

Another way to express these thoughts is "finding the sweet spot". That is a phrase that applies to an awful lot of life. The best tone is in that sweet spot guitar-wise, vocally, in any instrument & performance. Find that sweet spot of tone that really gets you off & work with it. There are sweet spots in many ranges & volumes on every instrument. There are also sweet spots with mics & even the L1. Find those magical ranges & work in them to find every nuance & expressive conduit available.

"

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

* [http://www.switzerlandinn.com/ Switzerland Inn]<br />'''Mountain View Restaurant''' (Buildings 12 and 13): quoting Eve-at-Bose<ref name="Eve">Eve-at-Bose notes [http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1591005925/m/6071077125?r=3131082925#3131082925 in the message board discussion]</ref>: "12+13. (Gary the Manager) said he'll let you guys use this room for free for your performances. It's actually 2 35'x36' foot rooms that used to have a wall between them, but the wall got knocked down, and there are some bathrooms built at either side, so that the opening is only 16' wide, but he said he uses it as one big banquet room (35'x72'). "

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====

[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

Pictures of Geneva Hall added today, 3-17-08.

Quoting Eve-at-Bose<ref name="Eve" /> (referring to the site map above)
:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

:RV's are fine. He has a space with electric and water hook up, but not sewer.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

== Equipment Provided ==

(Gary the Manager) said he'll let you guys use this room for free for your performances. It's actually 2 35'x36' foot rooms that used to have a wall between them, but the wall got knocked down, and there are some bathrooms built at either side, so that the opening is only 16' wide, but he said he uses it as one big banquet room (35'x72'). "

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

Pictures of Geneva Hall added today, 3-17-08.

Quoting Eve-at-Bose<ref name="Eve" /> (referring to the site map above)
:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

:RV's are fine. He has a space with electric and water hook up, but not sewer.

=== Food ===

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

If you don't see it here and want it, then plan on bringing it with you. And if you ''are'' bringing something, then please sign in here and add your stuff to the list. Thanks.

(Gary the Manager) said he'll let you guys use this room for free for your performances. It's actually 2 35'x36' foot rooms that used to have a wall between them, but the wall got knocked down, and there are some bathrooms built at either side, so that the opening is only 16' wide, but he said he uses it as one big banquet room (35'x72'). "

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====

[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====

:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

If you don't see it here and want it, then plan on bringing it with you. And if you ''are'' bringing something, then please sign in here and add your stuff to the list. Thanks.

(Gary the Manager) said he'll let you guys use this room for free for your performances. It's actually 2 35'x36' foot rooms that used to have a wall between them, but the wall got knocked down, and there are some bathrooms built at either side, so that the opening is only 16' wide, but he said he uses it as one big banquet room (35'x72'). "

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

"

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

=== Good air ===
=== Diction ===
=== Consonants, Ending consonants ===
==== Plosives ====
* Having trouble with popping consonants? Move closer to the microphone. Eliminate plosives by keeping your lips on the windscreen

=== Chest, throat, nose ===
=== EQing with technique ===
=== Shape mouth, throat ===
=== Push forward or back ===
==== Working the Mic ====
* Moving back from the microphone robs you of tone.
* The ToneMatch® Filters were created for close microphone technique.
==== Stay Glued to the Windscreen ====
* If you move your head around the microphone, swivel so that you mouth is always pointed at the windscreen.

=== Mic is an instrument ===
=== Listen & experiment ===

=== Flesh/nail/pick ===
=== EQ with fingers ===

=== Flesh & nail ===

Suggestions have centered around [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=asheville,+NC&ie=UTF8&ll=35.603719,-82.55127&spn=9.123361,14.941406&z=6&iwloc=addr Asheville North Carolina] (link to a map).

Top of the list so far seems to be the Switzerland Inn using the [[{{PAGENAME}}#Geneva Hall|Geneva Hall]] for music and meeting facilities.
=== Switzerland Inn / Geneva Hall ===
[[Image:SwitzerlandInnSiteMap.jpg|300px|right|Switzerland Inn site map]]
* [http://www.switzerlandinn.com/ Switzerland Inn]<br />'''Mountain View Restaurant''' (Buildings 12 and 13): quoting Eve-at-Bose<ref name="Eve">Eve-at-Bose notes [http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1591005925/m/6071077125?r=3131082925#3131082925 in the message board discussion]</ref>: "12+13. (Gary the Manager) said he'll let you guys use this room for free for your performances. It's actually 2 35'x36' foot rooms that used to have a wall between them, but the wall got knocked down, and there are some bathrooms built at either side, so that the opening is only 16' wide, but he said he uses it as one big banquet room (35'x72'). "

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

Pictures of Geneva Hall added today, 3-17-08.

* [http://www.wildacres.org/ Wildacres Retreat] <br />Comments from Ken-at-Bose: As you'll see this place already hosts lots and lots of music groups. It looks really neat, and has plenty of rooms. What I can't tell is pricing. Availability is also an issue: they're really popular. We'd have to squeeze in, or maybe plan something further out if you folks like this place.

Quoting Eve-at-Bose<ref name="Eve" /> (referring to the site map above)
:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

:RV's are fine. He has a space with electric and water hook up, but not sewer.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

[[Image:DevilsStairsteps.jpg|thumb|right|A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.]]

=== Monday morning hike ===

Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event. Here are Ken Willson's notes:

Hello to all Hikemiesters!

Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....

You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.

See ya all!! Kenny

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

[[Image:CucharaInnBackView.jpg|thumb|right|The back view of Timbers & the Cuchara Inn from the Yellow Pine Guest Ranch across the field. ]]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

[[Image:DevilsStairsteps.jpg|thumb|right|A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.]]

=== Monday morning hike ===

Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event. Here are Ken Willson's notes:

Hello to all Hikemiesters!

Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....

You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.

See ya all!! Kenny

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

=== Monday Night: Second Part ===
Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

* John Sweet: Acoustic guitar or drums
* Chuck-at-Bose: Guitar
* Pete Vredenburgh: drums, backing vocals, finger snaps
* Johnny Watson: drums, percussion, backing vocals
* Tom Reed: bass
* Tom Munch: rhythm guitar, backing vocals

==== Possible songs: ====

Please add a song for consideration. Discussion about songs should take place at the message board [http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/9671022984 here].

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

[[Image:CucharaInnBackView.jpg|thumb|right|The back view of Timbers & the Cuchara Inn from the Yellow Pine Guest Ranch across the field. ]]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

[[Image:DevilsStairsteps.jpg|thumb|right|A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.]]

=== Monday morning hike ===

Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event. Here are Ken Willson's notes:

Hello to all Hikemiesters!

Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....

You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.

See ya all!! Kenny

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

[[Image:CucharaInnBackView.jpg|thumb|right|The back view of Timbers & the Cuchara Inn from the Yellow Pine Guest Ranch across the field. ]]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

[[Image:DevilsStairsteps.jpg|thumb|right|A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.]]

=== Monday morning hike ===

Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event. Here are Ken Willson's notes:

Hello to all Hikemiesters!

Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....

You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.

See ya all!! Kenny

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

[[Image:DevilsStairsteps.jpg|thumb|right|A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.]]

=== Monday morning hike ===

Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event. Here are Ken Willson's notes:

Hello to all Hikemiesters!

Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....

You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.

See ya all!! Kenny

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

[[Image:DevilsStairsteps.jpg|thumb|right|A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.]]

=== Monday morning hike ===

Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event. Here are Ken Willson's notes:

Hello to all Hikemiesters!

Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....

You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.

See ya all!! Kenny

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

[[Image:DevilsStairsteps.jpg|thumb|right|A local landmark...The Devil's Stairsteps.]]

=== Monday morning hike ===

Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event. Here are Ken Willson's notes:

Hello to all Hikemiesters!

Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....

You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.

See ya all!! Kenny

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)
* Shawn Smith, (Martin HD28 guitar, Vocal)
* dhcrow Dennis Higgins (Martin 0m42 with an installed K&K mini)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)
* Shawn Smith, (Martin HD28 guitar, Vocal)
* dhcrow Dennis Higgins (Martin 0m42 with an installed K&K mini)
* Michael DeVincenzo (Two Alembic Series II basses)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)
* Shawn Smith, (Martin HD28 guitar, Vocal)
* dhcrow Dennis Higgins (Martin 0m42 with an installed K&K mini)

=== Monday Night: Second Part ===
Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

* Chuck-at-Bose: Guitar
* Pete Vredenburgh: drums, backing vocals, finger snaps
* Johnny Watson: drums, percussion, backing vocals
* Tom Reed: bass
* Tom Munch: rhythm guitar, backing vocals

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

[[Image:CucharaInnBackView.jpg|thumb|right|The back view of Timbers & the Cuchara Inn from the Yellow Pine Guest Ranch across the field. ]]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

* dhcrow Dennis Higgins (Martin 0m42 with an installed K&K mini)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)
* Shawn Smith, (Martin HD28 guitar, Vocal)
* dhcrow Dennis Higgins (Martin 0m42 with an installed K&K mini)

=== Monday Night: First Part ===
Short showcase performances by established small ensemble acts.

=== Monday Night: Second Part ===
Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

* Chuck-at-Bose: Guitar
* Pete Vredenburgh: drums, backing vocals, finger snaps
* Johnny Watson: drums, percussion, backing vocals
* Tom Reed: bass
* Tom Munch: rhythm guitar, backing vocals

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

[[Image:CucharaInnBackView.jpg|thumb|right|The back view of Timbers & the Cuchara Inn from the Yellow Pine Guest Ranch across the field. ]]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)
* Shawn Smith, (Martin HD28 guitar, Vocal)
* dhcrow Dennis Higgins (Martin 0m42 with an installed K&K mini)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)
* Shawn Smith, (Martin HD28 guitar, Vocal)
* dhcrow Dennis Higgins (Martin 0m42 with an installed K&K mini)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

* Johnny Watson: drums, percussion, backing vocals
* Tom Reed: bass
* Tom Munch: rhythm guitar, backing vocals

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

[[Image:CucharaInnBackView.jpg|thumb|right|The back view of Timbers & the Cuchara Inn from the Yellow Pine Guest Ranch across the field. ]]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

Bluegrass Band at Sisters Folk Festival

2007-09-09T16:42:15Z

Tom Munch: Formatting

'''These are notes from a report at the Sisters Folk Festival in 2006 where Dan Sayan & I ran sound on several stages. One of the stages we experimented with mic'ing a bluegrass band in the method that others have used with good results on the Bose forum.'''

'''-[[User:Tom Munch|Tom Munch]]'''

[[Image:SistersFolkFestivalRight.jpg|left]][[Image:SistersFolkFestivalLeft.jpg|right]]The bluegrass band (The Anvil Blasters) had traditional instrumentation & they wanted to try two Studio Projects C1 condenser mics in an X/Y pattern like the Rich Stillman IBMA setup & 2 L1 x 1 B1 systems. The upright bass had a bridge pickup which we plugged into channel 2 of the stage left system with preset 60, & the dobro wanted to try running direct into channel 2 of the stage right system with preset 40 I believe (Dan had good luck with that preset previously on the dobro).

We ran the condensers into channel 1 on their respective side with a 00 preset. After a little 100 hertz or so feedback in the beginning which was fixed with some bass rolloff, the sound was fine & clear. The 4 main performers (mando, banjo, guitar, & dobro) were accustomed to hovering around their respective mics on each side of the stage with a 3' spread which caused too much left-right imaging, so we moved the mics to about 2½' & had them try to work the middle more.

[[Image:SistersFolkFestivalCondenser.jpg|right|Large diaphragm condenser microphones with L1™]]
The band had good luck in the past with the mics at different heights (owing to the fact that the guitarist is about 6'3" on stage left & the mando player is 5'2" on stage right) with the mics facing slightly down to pick up instruments on their standard system. We tried that at first, but found that the mics at the same height & facing parallel with the ground gave a better mix.

The systems were both canted in & the mics as well. This gave a very nice sound at a pretty good level in the medium-size room.

The band could hear fairly well on the back side, although canting the systems in more didn't seem to help much. I think straight on would have produced the best back-side monitoring. Overall they were very pleased & I was amazed that a less expensive large-diaphragm mic sounded so good with little feedback.

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

Ken and Tom's announcement:
[http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2191098384/m/8621009384 2007 Fall Rocky Mountain Conference]

== Date ==

September 30, 2007 - October 1, 2007

You should plan to be in Cuchara no later than Sunday afternoon. Some of you may want to take advantage of the trip to spend extra days. We'll have music on Sunday evening. Then, we'll conference on Monday day and evening (more music) and we're out on Tuesday. Loved ones are welcome to join us.

== Conference Venue ==
[[Image:Timbers.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Timbers at The Cuchara Inn. A bar from days gone by where legendary Texas singer-songwriters like Jerry Jeff Walker & Michael Murphey used to play.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

Reservations:
* Cuchara Inn, 73 East Ave., Cuchara, CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3685 $69 plus tax - ask for Bose conference rates
* Yellow Pine Guest Ranch, 15880 State Highway 12, Cuchara CO 81055. Tel: 719.742.3528 $85 to $155 plus tax. Check website for descriptions of cabins (click on '''Cabins''' link) - [http://www.yellowpine.us/ Yellow Pine Cabins]

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=DENver+international+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.601125,-104.85456&sspn=3.644457,7.459717&ie=UTF8&ll=38.608286,-104.853516&spn=3.644022,7.459717&z=8&om=1 Denver International Airport to Cuchara (3 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=colorado+springs+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.608286,-104.853516&sspn=3.644022,7.459717&ie=UTF8&z=9&om=1 Colorado Springs Airport to Cuchara (2 hrs)]

[http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=albuquerque+airport&daddr=Cuchara,+Uninc+Huerfano+County,+CO&sll=38.079015,-104.85464&sspn=7.339413,14.919434&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1 Albuquerque NM Airport to Cuchara (4.5 hours)]

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)
* Shawn Smith, (Martin HD28 guitar, Vocal)

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)
* John Sweet (mandolin)

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.

Bluegrass Band at Sisters Folk Festival

2007-09-08T20:27:37Z

Tom Munch: Formatting

== Sisters Folk Festival Bluegrass Band Setup ==

'''These are notes from a report at the Sisters Folk Festival in 2006 where Dan Sayan & I ran sound on several stages. One of the stages we experimented with mic'ing a bluegrass band in the method that others have used with good results on the Bose forum.'''

'''-Tom Munch'''

The bluegrass band (The Anvil Blasters) had traditional instrumentation & they wanted to try two Studio Projects C1 condenser mics in an X/Y pattern like the Rich Stillman IBMA setup & 2 L1 x 1 B1 systems. The upright bass had a bridge pickup which we plugged into channel 2 of the stage left system with preset 60, & the dobro wanted to try running direct into channel 2 of the stage right system with preset 40 I believe (Dan had good luck with that preset previously on the dobro).

We ran the condensers into channel 1 on their respective side with a 00 preset. After a little 100 hertz or so feedback in the beginning which was fixed with some bass rolloff, the sound was fine & clear. The 4 main performers (mando, banjo, guitar, & dobro) were accustomed to hovering around their respective mics on each side of the stage with a 3' spread which caused too much left-right imaging, so we moved the mics to about 2½' & had them try to work the middle more.

The band had good luck in the past with the mics at different heights (owing to the fact that the guitarist is about 6'3" on stage left & the mando player is 5'2" on stage right) with the mics facing slightly down to pick up instruments on their standard system. We tried that at first, but found that the mics at the same height & facing parallel with the ground gave a better mix.

The systems were both canted in & the mics as well. This gave a very nice sound at a pretty good level in the medium-size room.

The band could hear fairly well on the back side, although canting the systems in more didn't seem to help much. I think straight on would have produced the best back-side monitoring. Overall they were very pleased & I was amazed that a less expensive large-diaphragm mic sounded so good with little feedback.

== Lodging ==
For accommodations, there are rooms at the Cuchara Inn (where we'll hold the conference) and the Yellow Pine Ranch just up the road that are available to us at a fair price. Rooms at the Inn are standard hotel rooms. Cabins and a few houses are available for families and groups at the Yellow Pine (more details to follow).

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.
