This week's guest is John Mackey. It is worth the listen even with the three hosts still involved. Yet, it is important to note an interesting development -  the software we use to produce this podcast now offers AI episode summary and "takeaways". This week's takeaways were too good not to share:

Takeaways

  • Sometimes it's necessary to hide in a closet to escape from family or visitors
  • Jazz Fest can be a fun and memorable experience
  • Having an openable window in a closet is unusual
  • Skipping school for a celebrity autograph can lead to unexpected consequences
  • Being impeached from high school drama club can be a memorable experience
  • Juilliard does not have an athletics division
  • Sequencing music on a Commodore 64 computer was a popular activity in the past
  • Writing for different ensembles requires different techniques and considerations.
  • Composing for young bands can be challenging due to limited technique and vocabulary.
  • The Mystery Guest values the input and ideas of young musicians in the composition process.
  • Writing for drum corps is a new and exciting experience for the Mystery Guest. 
  • The Guest would win a race versus Brian Balmages at Midwest given his planking ability. 
  • Tshirt cannons might get people to visit the Beyond ArtLess Booth at Midwest.
  • Choosing a story to base a composition on can be difficult, especially when there are many great options
  • Encouraging creativity in students is important and can lead to great musical ideas

Not bad AI....not bad.
