Grip it and rip it

Not just for golf anymore...

Today I got the box of accepted entries for the EMM Festival. Now to rip them all into my laptop and organize them into concerts. There haven't been too many special programming requests so it should flow together easily (knock on wood).

I like taking widely different pieces of music and trying to organize them into vignettes. It is kind of like playing a big, musical game of Go using iTunes as the board. Okay, maybe not.
