Space: How to make regular playing / practices, in a rock band, pipe band or chamber music group, really fun, getting to 'space,' The Grateful Dead

How to make regular playing / practices, in a rock band, pipe band or chamber music group, really fun, getting to 'space,' for example, like the Grateful Dead did?

ideas: ... listen, relax, let musicians choose their own music, keep the group small, regularly make time to explore improvisation, with a musician facilitating this with the other musicians, begin with the blues or similarly moving, and accessible, music, listen to good, related CDs

... which you'll find here at WUaS's Playing / Practicing a Musical Instrument - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Practicing_-_Playing_a_Musical_Instrument - which is wiki and with an invitation to add ideas, teach and learn :)

How to make regular playing / practices, in a rock band, pipe band, acapella group or chamber music group, really fun, getting to 'space,' for example, like the Grateful Dead did? What's the 'structure' of regular, most-fun music-playing together (in the beginning of music-making, and for experienced musicians)?

ideas: ... listen, relax, let musicians choose their own music, keep the group small, regularly make time to explore improvisation, with a musician facilitating this with the other musicians, begin with the blues. J.S. Bach or similarly moving, and accessible, music, listen to good, related CDs, mp3s, in Music-playing Spaces in a Google + Group Video chat hangout ...

Fulmar: "Wee kiltie" time travel to Glasgow, Scotland, St. Kilda, Edinburgh, Fettes College, Virtual St. Kilda

SM:

"Wee kiltie" time travel to Glasgow, Scotland, in the 1950s with (ret.) Professor D.M. whom I know from the University of Edinburgh from 2003-2004. There's a wee resemblance to him today as well ... fantastic :). D is adding fascinating photos of ships, model ships, and commentary, much from the Scottish Highlands over his lifetime, in FB ... a trove of remembrance and insight, and ethnological/anthropological photos and interpretations.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdV974vmEcKK-rgX7uE9gp8ukzOYYuNGKU2ok5Lh069tsJP_Bk0BGou6yQbpM_ZiLWvv_CspLbdsZAlYYFWeOXO3BMcU0Mi1qH6eER8pg9NWknYuxk1VG4dLIV7VapQ_yNhag8FJ4D3u8/s1600/Donald+as+%27wee+kiltie%27+in+formal+portrait.jpg

DM:

Glad you are enjoying this, Scott. I remember you well, and I think you had a particular interest in the presentation of St Kilda in writing and photography....Am I right? Very happy to share my life with others in this way.


SM:

You're turning a social networking site into a very fertile ethnological archive, easily accessible by those with computers, which is super, D! (I may explore adding your contributions to the Scotland page at World University & School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Scotland). I haven't yet posted my St. Kilda paper from 2003-2004 to my 'Papers' / Academe web page at http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm - but may soon. While, in my interpretation, the nascent multimedia at the National Trust for Scotland's St. Kilda website - http://www.kilda.org.uk/ - did make virtual visiting possible (the guest book with email addresses on this web site was very helpful vis-a-vis visitors' experiences), I haven't yet found a virtual St. Kilda in 3-D, interactive, virtual worlds, but suspect we will at some point. (It's probably in Google Earth). Back in 1976-77, when I attended Fettes College in Edinburgh, in the 1st year 6th, I didn't have a suit, but did have a kilt (and was able to borrow a too-small, kilt jacket), in which I was able to attend (required) church on Sundays. Perhaps unlike you, I didn't mind wearing the kilt in Edinburgh. :) (I'm learning Piobaireachd presently here in the SF Bay Area from PM Donald MacLeod's "The Classic Collection of Piobaireachd Tutorials" (from the mid-70s), which are a gem of a resource; wee Donald recorded all Piobaireachds of some centuries ago. :)



DM:

Well, if it's of use to others, I'm only too delighted to share it, Scott. I am no use at 'social networking', whatever that means. I like to talk and write about the world as I see it and feel it - and make it! I'm not interested in whether people wash their faces with a blue cloth today and a green one tomorrow, whether their tummy rumbles or whatever....(-: (-: Very good to learn of your doings since Edinburgh days. I enjoyed your bit about the kilt. We all see the world differently, and that, for me, is the fun of it all. I put a little of that on FB, and those who want to have a look and a laugh, and perhaps the occasional serious moment, can do so. Keep going with the pipes - a noble calling indeed. Wish I could play them.

Fire on mountain: 'the Grateful Dead concert' of a loving relationship is (which then leads to family), Scarlet Begonias, St. Stephen, at Cornell Univ

... curious what 'the Grateful Dead concert' over 30 years ('65-'95) - of repeated, frequent, blissing, bodymind-musical-instrument to bodymind-musical-instrument (6 guys playing together) - of a loving relationship is (which then leads to family), and what historical examples you might suggest?


What are the practices, if the 'chemistry' is there, to bring out the bliss neurophysiology in creative, unfolding ways, and over the years?

The Dead began with the blues, were influenced by the '60s, were all good musicians, Jerry was a guide ...

Galapagos Iguana: World University & School overview, What makes World University and School unique, Quaker Colleges and Consensus Process

What makes World University and School unique is that we plan to be in all languages

(Wikipedia is in 281 languages), and like Wikipedia,

with MIT OCW-focused (accrediting on MIT OCW in English) ...

and offer free Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and MD degrees,

in exchange, in part,

for studying how students learn

(longitudinally, and in many ways, - e.g. the Framingham heart disease study),

and also with an OLPC country focus.

World University & School comes into conversation with great universities like

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge, especially,

and, more generally, with these great universities -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings -

faculty,

for Open Course Ware / Open Educational Resources,

and for academic foci,

as well as with Haverford and Swarthmore,

F/friendly/Quaker-wise,

engaging Quaker-informed, consensus, decision-making / Business Meeting as process.

Only once in a blue moon does the opportunity to create a World University & School, in 3,000-8,000 languages, and in around 200 countries, with free, online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and MD degrees accrediting on MIT OCW a'happen. WUaS is like Wikipedia - now in around 281 languages and all of us wrote these entries - and for open people-to-people teaching, with MIT OCW as its academic basis. While not shooting the moon in the card game of Hearts (lots of people are playing Poker these days, partly for learning about learning :), WUaS will help so many people with this far-reaching, open, educational endeavor, and sharing of ideas ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University ... with an invitation to teach, learn and create what you love, idea- (and even music-) wise :)
