Memphis Music Page

In August of 2006, the Ecological Society of America held its annual meeting in Memphis Tennessee. The organizers decided to incorporate music into the meetings, and introduced a "Musician's Central" room where 10 to 15 musicians met each afternoon to play and sing. Om Tuesday, August 8th, we had a formal evening of music, which I recorded. 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.

Let's hope this music tradition continues at future ESA meetings!
