The Snow Ghost Community Show is proud to present video and audio from Worcester Mystery Band 2008. Here's how Jacob Berendes described Mystery Band in 2007:
mystery band is a worcester activity in which everyone who is interested in being in a band submits their name and contact information (and any previous musical experience) to a central organizer, who then organizes the list of people into however many five or six person bands. these bands are given a certain amount of time (usually 2 months) to have a few practices and write between 5 and 20 minutes of original material that is not a waste of everybody's time. improvisation is prohibited. participants need not have any prior musical experience, just the desire to be in a band and the ability to step up. mystery band culminates in a series of shows for all the bands that pulled it off.

We lost a shining star, one we will always remember as an activist, an artist, a peacemaker. Tom Lewis, passed on Friday, April 4, 2008.

We will all miss him.

Scott Schaffer Duffy writes, on Pie and Coffee :

When asked in 1997 what sustained him through all these years, Tom said simply, “My faith and my art.” He also credited his father’s deep love for the Bible. Long-time peace activist Elizabeth McAlister said that when she met Tom in 1967 she knew that he was “thoughtful, committed, and real.” She said “Tom is moved by conscience and friendships.”

Tom was also a supporter and friend of WCCA. His last words to me, only a few weeks ago, where encouraging, "the work you are doing with this station is very important, keep it going".

We will all miss him.

Topics:

  • The results of an economics experiment suggest that ". . . having participants listen to songs by AC/DC in which Brian Johnson served as vocalist results in participants realizing more efficient outcomes. Thus, in terms of a singer’s ability to implement efficient behavioral outcomes among listeners, our results suggest that Brian Johnson was a better vocalist than Bon Scott."

  • Bruce makes the case that Metallica is not, and never has been, a metal band; nobody is convinced
  • Do people watch public access? Bruce says Yes, and has the stories to prove it.
  • Bruce is picked up by the police.
