Memphis ESA 2006

In August of 2006, the Ecological Society of America held its annual meeting in Memphis Tennessee. The organizers decided to incorporate music into the meeting, and introduced a "Musician's Central" room where 10 to 15 musicians (and numerous fans) met each afternoon to play and sing. On Tuesday, August 8th, we had a formal evening of music, which I captured on digital recorder. The following MP3 files are recordings from all of the performers in the order of their appearance. These single-track recordings are not edited, other than to remove the stage talk and breaks. The recorder batteries died partway through Celia Edwards' song, so the remaining artists were re-recorded the following afternoon at Musician's Central.

Many thanks to Shahid Naeem for initiating this project and to Michelle Horton for making it all happen!

Join us for more music in San Jose in August 2007!

Best wishes,
