 Teachers Syd Smith (at center left on guitar) and Crystal Reeves (at center right on violin) step up to play a song.  I discovered the Be-In-a-Band Workshop while browsing local events on the Internet. The premise of the class seemed straightforward enough: learn to play music with other people over six two-hour sessions, culminating in a final public performance.   Musical collaborations often lead to wholly unexpected feelings…

Turned Up Missing @ Band Practice. March 15, 2008.     Today, I stopped by Turned Up Missing’s rehearsal space on the outskirts of Ashland, and my ears are still ringing.  I met Chase, Ben, Rafe, Andy, and Luke, and they were kind enough to share a few songs with me,…
