Airplane musings

jackieblue — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 13:32:35 GMT

While flying back from New York City to Detroit, bad weather turned the usual 1 hour and 15 minute flight into well over 2 hours. With this extended flying opportunity, I had the chance to listen to both sets recorded live during Jackie Blue's New Jersey show on our Archos Gmini. The Gmini is an amazing music hard disk recording device, measuring about 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, it not only plays back MP3 and WAV audio files but also records uncompressed CD quality WAV files (16 bit word at a 44.1KHz sample rate). The recording sounded great and I'll be posting some samples on the Jackie Blue website: www.JackieBlue.com I also came to the following conclusions while circling Detroit in the clouds waiting for our turn to land: 1) There's going to be no end to the "Alice" jokes that were started on stage by Carrieand a certain "White Rabbit" song. 2) How is it the Airbus can build an airplane that's slow, noisy and uncomfortable (the A320 series) while Boeing's 737 are none of these things? 3) By any standards: singing, song writing, stage presence, height; Fee Waybill of the Tubes is one of the most underrated lead singers. And their live shows were just amazing.

Musician's Hurricane Katrina Fund Raising Tour: Final Update

jackieblue — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 21:09:04 GMT

We're in the news: What started out as a series of web postings on Jackie Blue's Music Tour Network tribe site http://musictour.tribe.net has turned into an unprecedented union of grassroots support for the survivors of the devastating hurricanes. The Detroit band produced the tour, recruited the show organizers, established the tour routing and ensured that promotional material was available from the national level to the local level. The results: 38 artists and 11 shows later, spanning venues across New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, and California, $9,301 was raised for 4 not-for-profits: American Red Cross, Little Stuff Fund, Habitat for Humanity, and the Humane Society. The grassroots team is now formally organized under the banner of the Music Tour Network (www.MusicTourNetwork.com). With the wonderful team of show organizers, artists, venues and sponsors who were the ones that made this tour a success, we now have the network in place to support worthwhile causes and simultaneously introduce great musicians to cities where they normally wouldn't be able to play. Special thanks go out to all of the people who came out to support this tour!

Musician's Hurricane Katrina Fund Raising Tour

jackieblue — Sun, 04 Sep 2005 16:40:31 GMT

Music Tour Network: www.musictournetwork.com From small towns to large cities across America, we're asking you to join us in helping raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina through the common language of music. Net proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross www.redcross.org, The Little Stuff Fund www.theLittleStuffFund.org, Habitat For Humanity www.habitat.org, and the Humane Society www.hsus.org (check show information for specifics) Many of us have either lived in the areas struck by the hurricane or have family and friends who presently live there. Saving lives and giving people a hand up who are in need is what this tour is all about. The first step is to raise as much money as we can so that the victim's short-term needs will be met: Water, food, medicine, clothing and shelter.
