Hey gang I wanted to tell you about a benefit going on at ImprovFriday.
This evening, March 17th through Saturday, March 19th at 6pm PST (9pm EST/local time) the
ImprovFriday online music community of which I am participating, is holding a benefit event to gain support for the people of Japan from their recent catastrophic events.
Our normal end of the week and weekend thread event of work is being facilitated this weekend to encourage donations to the Red Cross efforts in Japan following the post earthquake and tsunami that shook Japan. Visit us at
http://improvfriday.ning.com and hear music being created in this 2 plus day event by members of ImprovFriday for the benefit. Additionally on Saturday there will be several live video concerts from participating artists including Rainer, possibly Jeff Duke (experiencing broadband issues that may preclude), myself, Steve Goodman and others during the day and evening. Scheduling for the live shows is still being planned but at present starts at 11am EST. These times are subject to change so I will send a followup email later.
A donation link to the Red Cross site is provided on the opening page portal where all the music and events will be displayed.
Please join us all through the next 2.5 days as we through our collective music raise support, awareness and healing tones for the shaken Japanese people.
Thanks and have a great loopin' weekend.
Jim
