We had the chance to take our Park Bench Venue out on Friday. It’s a great new fun idea that we’ve added to our Trailer Tales piece (or as we call it here in Ozzie “Caravan Chronicles”). Basically we it is a mobile venue where the audience is the star. Our hope is to park our ‘rolling hill’ in urban settings and then invite those passing by to come have a seat with us on the bench and then share a story about their family. Llysa bought a very cool little recorder that we can use (it’s the size of an ipod, but even lighter!) Once we get a few fun stories, we will edit them into a podcast and post it here....Keep checking back here to listen to our first one!
Our first outing was a bit crazy as communication didn’t get through to all the people involved and there was some concern when we arrived down by the Council building that we were actually protesters instead of performing! Thankfully the policeman who arrived, within minutes understood exactly what happened and liked the idea of our piece so much that he is planning on coming to our family performances on Sunday!

And by the way, I tried to post a video above but it isn't working just yet...When it DOES work the cool music that you'll be hearing on the clip is composed by Chandra Cogburn! She’s a GREAT musician and composer working down in the LA area.
Thanks Chandra for letting us use your grooves!
