Hi Tamas and List,
>From a personal point of view I absolutely love that  Armstrong-Kaye video 
from your "front" page.  But if your goal is  to communicate with "the 
young" in the U.S. in some kind of mass  way; I cannot imagine that it would.  I 
don't find many young  that relate to composers even if they are playing 
compositions written by  them.
 
They could relate much better to one that was purely instrumental fun and  
antics.  First time I sat some of my 8 - 14 year old banjo students down in  
front of a Dixieland band, they loved the opener, "Tiger Rag".

Dear  all,

It has been a discussion from time to time to do something  for
preserving OKOM and finding new audiences. I have been thinking of  a
solution that could be modern enough to draw youngsters into  our
direction. I don't say that I found the ultimate solution but I  found
out something that could help a lot and could get decent media  coverage.
I don't say anything more about it as I need your opinion about  the home
page I put together and it says it all at this point; of course,  there
is a lot more to come. Opinions, corrections, ideas are welcome.  Please,
check it out and sign up as a supporter. You should also forward  the
link to as many people as you  can.

Note that the site is still  "under construction" which means that design
and certain things could be  and will be changed, polished. But the basic
idea and the structure will  remain as it is. Also: if someone has a
better quality video of the  Arsmtrong-Valente-Kaye show (see under
Videos) please, let me  know.

Since I'll be in New York until Nov 25, I won't have access to  DJML (as
it comes to my home address), so you can communicate with me  at
ittzes.tamas at gmail.com  

Thanks,

Tamas
