New York Audio Show Report 2014

We celebrate a new feature, which will be appearing in virtually all our future reviews and photo-based show reports here at Enjoy the Music.com. Click on any image with a red dot/crosshairs to see a much larger, hi-res version!

 

  First, huge apologies as am extremely busy with business meetings, meetings with VCs, incubator friends, etc., since Brooklyn is the Silicon Valley of the Northeast. The great news is that i hope you enjoy the new camera gear (Ziess glass, etc) and thus an abundance of photos, yet text and listening impressions are slim pickings. Also, only have 1.5 days here in Brooklyn and not the full 3 as many others are enjoying. The great news is that Enjoy the Music.com's excellent show photojournalist Rick Becker is also here reporting and his show report will be extremely extensive and should appear online in a week or two. A most humble thanks for your patience. Hope you enjoy the photos from the new camera rig.

Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds is here at the New York Audio Show 2014. This was the very first photo i took, as it was opposite where myself plus my Muse and incredible wife Heather received our press passes. It also just so happens that Chad's annual Blues Masters at the Crossroads concert is a week after RMAF 2014, which we may be providing live streaming online for the world to see and hear. You could also chat live with blues legends too! So, with full audio/video production facility in tow, it looks like Enjoy the Music.TV may be live streaming Chad's glorious concert in a few weeks. See 9/24/14's Industry News for more details on that musical masterpiece moment. Some small details still need to be ironed out, yet we're all for, and about, the music. Or as i say, enjoy the music! Below are some of the great goodies for sale at Acoustic Sounds' booth here at NYAS 2014.

Some girls have all the luck, as she gets to listen and i get to take the photo. Sometimes life is just not fair :(  And sometimes it is, because look at how happy she is :)
