After the Concert, plus Google Pages
The Castro Valley Community Band played its spring concert last night in the new Castro Valley Center for the Arts. The hall was wonderful, we put on a fine show, and well over 300 people attended. I attempted to record the concert on my Sony MiniDisc recorder and new Sony ECM-719 microphone, but I did a poor job of setting levels; much of the recording -- anything over about a mezzo-forte -- is distorted. Anyway, the good sounds are ringing in my ears, if not in my stereo.
Coincidentally, I'm working on a website for the band using the Google Page Creator tool. Check out the work-in-progress at CastroValleyBand.googlepages.com. (No "www" in front.) The tool, so far, is straightforward and pleasant to use. There are quirks, of course -- the heading and name for the page must match its first h1 headline, for instance -- but for the price (free) it's wonderful, and I'm sure that features and capabilities will grow over time. I'm going to add some photos to the site this weekend.
Thanks to Tom Starner for tipping me off about Google Pages.
