=== 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.
== Recording ==
We’ll have a 2-track recording setup on hand.  Laptop with Audacity on it, an MAudio USB stereo interface/preamp and a pair of Shure SM81.
If you want a copy of any of the music you play, bring one of those ($12) 2GB memory sticks and take it home that way.
