   Oh, I’m glad it was a good convention! I wish I could have been there, but this life of mine has been a tad hectic. I do hope I will be able to join you next year! I have yet to meet other saw players, so such a thing would be interesting.
   Be well!

   natalia,

   i’m glad it went well….i would have loved to have made it up there, but my 18 month old has been running me ragged (in a good way, of course!)

   i’ve finished the first of a series of short preludes for saw and guitar i was hoping you’d take a look at for me….

   by the way, who wrote the piece you have on your page? i love the melody!

   take care,
   jay

   I too wish that I could have been there!!! I will be sure to say hello next time I make it out to NY. I hope that you get a well deserved rest soon.

   All the best,

   Michael

   Thank you for the saw convention. I’d like to come to perform next year. It was great to see that many saw players. I knew only few players in my life. If you have chance to come to Boston let me know.

   I remember you telling me about the saw players convention.. It’s really awesome, you get to see how everybody plays, especially since all/most of them learn on their own.

   Is there a piano sheet for Delancey street rag? I love that song so much…

   Thank you all for your enthusiasm!
   One day soon I should write a post about the Musical Saw Players Gathering I organized in Israel last April… I even have a video from that event, which I would like to share with you.

   Thank you, Jay! Scott Munson, my husband wrote that piece (as well as all the tracks on my EP).
   We’re hoping to get in the recording studio to complete the album (all Scott’s songs) by the end of the year.

   Kenji - it would be wonderful to have you join us with your saw next year! I will put you on the invite list for sure.

   Monique - thank you for your enthusiasm about ‘Delancey Street Rag’! I’ll tell Scott, it will make him very happy to hear you like it. I don’t think he has the sheet music for it typed up… I’ll suggest to him that he should do it.

   Hello Saw Lady.
   I discovered your blog through JMB on her Nothing Important blog in Vancouver. I thought I would visit and say hello.
   I shall create a link from my blog to yours so that I can hear about music in the NY subway.
   Regards
   Eurodog

   One of the Musical Saw Players Gathering is for sure something to see, to listen to and to live. But a video would already be something… A dvd maybe ?
   I wish you now nice holidays or days of rest, with the ones you love under a beautiful summer sky.
   Take care Natalia The Great,
   Your music and your simplicity make the saw, the music and the subway, magical.

   Natalia,
   Yes, sorry I was not present. I don’t play the old saw as much as I used to, so I’m pretty rusty.
   I’ll seek you underground.

    Natalia,

    I wish I coulda been there! Frontier Ruckus was in new york just the week prior, but we had to leave to play in Toledo and Ann Arbor on the 28th and the 29th. Kept an eye for you busking, but never saw you…next year I hope!

    Hi Natalia. I am sorry I couldn’t attend your musical saw conference. It sounds like it was great. I had my first busking experience last Thursday, and it was a lot of fun. Thanks for your advice.

    (What’s the sum of 10 + 7? Ok, I’ll guess)

    Hi Natalia!

    I’m glad you dug the snaps! It was such a wonderful happening and I had to constantly remind myself to enjoy the moment even as I wanted snaps to remember it by …

    Thanks again. Stay gold -

    Hi Natalia, it sounds like the Saw-a-thon was a blast. Sorry I couldn’t be there - things a little hectic here at present - not least because of School summer holidays and mad child to entertain. Lets keep making this humble, yet extraordinary, unearthly, beautiful intrument heard.
    Have a fantastic summer,

    John X

    Hi John,

    “Saw-a-thon” - that’s brilliant! It describes the event perfacly - one saw player after another, after another, after another, performing - it is like a saw marathon.
    I love it!
