While I know that 13 below zero Fahrenheit isn’t particularly cold (I haven’t even taken my REAL winter coat out of storage yet), it is getting close to a 100 degree temperature difference here in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, to yesterday’s high in Anaheim, California. And that’s where I’m headed tomorrow, for the NAMM Show, where music industry manufacturers from around the world show off their latest products.

If you’re planning to attend the show, please visit Tom Johnson, Justin Philips, Gary Garritan, myself, and the whole MakeMusic crew at booth 6210 (Hall A). We’ll be giving Finale and Garritan demonstrations every half hour, Thurs-Sun. You can also share in the latest action via Facebook and Twitter whether you’re in California or not.

One of the great things about NAMM is that you get to meet people from all over the world, and hear what they’re up to musically. If you visit our booth, please say hello (I’m the MakeMusic guy with the pony tail), and take on my challenge: If you can demonstrate that it’s colder where you live than it is in Minnesota, I’ll give you a free gift!
