Off to California

I leave tomorrow for the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. It's the largest gathering of the music products industry. There will probably be around 85,000 people in attendance.

I have lots of meetings so I don't know how much of the show and vendors I will get to see.

The buzz of the show could be..

Conn-Selmer possibly purchasing the bankrupt Woodwind and Brasswind
Independant music dealers stating their importance to manufacturers

Lots to see -- lots to do.
