Have fun!  I'm looking forward to an eventual recorded version of Seedless...oops, HEEDLESS, Watermelon.  (So much neater, without all those heeds.)

[karlhenning]

Thanks! Fun is exactly what I expect to have ; )

[karlhenning]

Good crowd, some 53 people out in the audience.

[karlhenning]

Well, I still need to try to burn the sound files to a disc, and see how the recording sounds at home . . . but it seems to have come out.  Or, there is some sort of document, anyway 

[Bogey]

Good crowd, some 53 people out in the audience.

Congrats, Karl.  We need another Denver Henning event!

[karlhenning]

That would be lovely!  jo and I can play the Heedless Watermelon

In the kitchen.

Sneak mp3 listen to the (a bit rougher than might have been) premiere of Heedless Watermelon earlier this very day:

[DavidW]

That was quite charming Karl.

[karlhenning]

Thanks, Davey!  We'll play it better tomorrow (and I'll figure out how to raise the input levels on this nifty device that Bill Goodwin lent me . . . .)

[secondwind]

Good crowd, some 53 people out in the audience.

But did you have FUN, man? I just listened to Heedless Watermelon, and I had fun! (Spits watermelon heeds across the cyberspace.)

[karlhenning]

We all had fun, but I must have had the most!

[ChamberNut]

That is fun piece Karl!  J'aime bien le melon d'eau.  0:)

*Hucks heeds

I think the most striking section in it was around the middle, with the repeated two-note staccato flute and the clarinet playing a quiet, smooth, Lydian-ish melody, mostly "under" it. That one made my eyes wide.

[karlhenning]

Merci, lads!
