The whole thing is able to present music in a different spirit because it's in a different space. Exploring non-bar spaces strikes me a key part of Hikes Without Mics.

To me, to break free of that stereotypic dynamic of ticketmaster or date night is an important inducement to be in a park, a library, a matinee or a public space of uncertain musicality.

Really glad to hear that, and a little surprised for some reason that I can't put my finger on. Maybe the blog entries about shows are all about telling stories well. Images make the story more vivid. Not sure what the right thing for me to do is, relative to your friend at Truetone. I don't want anybody to feel like this is Star Search, so it'd be ideal if kid players were children of parents who hang out in this subculture already. But maybe I'm being picky for no good reason.

It would be great to get some pictures and post them next time. (I got a lot out of seeing the pix from your Joshua Tree gig -- of course, wish I could be there in person.) I've heard from my friend who works at Truetone music in Santa Monica that there are some of the kids who take lessons there are really talented. Checking with other musicians about their students might be another good route for finding kids to play the gigs. (And, I can ping my friend at Truetone about it if you're not getting other leads.)
