Mingus Mondays Live.

Very excited about my upcoming "Mingus Mondays" solo livestream today, Monday, at 7:30pm (Tuesday 00:30am BST). I have really been working hard to prepare this, and trust me, there will be some surprises. Please tune in!
There are a couple of ways to see it. It is free on the Charles Mingus Facebook page, as the first post in the timeline:

This is the direct link to the post, which I'm told will also be open to non-facebookers (hopefully):

Also, it will be embedded on www.CharlesMingus.com ...  (scroll down on the home page; it's also under "online events"). Might even have it up on the ScienSonic site if we can get that together.

Hope to see you tomorrow. Besides performing, I will also be taking questions/comments/criticisms/excoriations from any/all. See you then!  - Scott

PS, My apologies to those who tried to watch my backyard concert with Martin Wind last week, and ran into difficulties. There were many issues, the main one being that the streaming didn't kick in until halfway through the show. Then it was supposed to be archived on the site, but vanished after a couple of days, apparently forever. Tomorrow's thing should not have these problems, as the good Mingus folks have been doing these shows every Monday for several months now.
