TMUG Meeting November 12 2007

From TMUG - The Triangle Macintosh Users Group

November 12, 2007

— Branford Marsalis Returns to TMUG —

World-renowned saxophonist, three-time Grammy winner and Mac user, Branford Marsalis will return to TMUG for our program November 12. An instrumentalist, composer, and head of Marsalis Music, he produces both his own projects and those of the jazz world’s most promising new and established artists from his base in the Triangle. Originally from New Orleans, Marsalis has been extremely active in relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina and he is the honorary chair of the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity effort to rebuild the city.

The program format will be similar to his visit to TMUG several years ago when Branford took questions from the group on a wide range of topics related to his music, composing on a Mac, the music business and more. Since then iTunes has come onto the scene and hopefully Branford will discuss its effects on his and other artists' music sales. A few likely subjects for discussion are other methods of music distribution, digital rights management, plus whatever else we want to ask about. So bring your questions.

If you're a music fan, you won't want to miss this meeting!

Also on the program, Bob Chandler will host our monthly Q&A session. We'll also give away a couple of iTunes gift cards as door prizes which members can use to purchase Branford Marsalis' music, such as his new Braggtown album. Plus we'll discuss plans for the December Festivus program.

All TMUG meetings are open to the public - members get to experience the pride of belonging, and also can win one of 2 or 3 door prizes. Whether you are new to the Mac or a long time user, TMUG meetings have something for you and your Mac. The meeting will start at 6:30 pm.
(Attendance at the November meeting was approx 70 members and visitors.)
