Email 1: From Suvo, 12:18 PM
Here's my reply to the blog entries recently made. I decided to also email my comments as I think the blogsite may not have as much readership as this e-list does. Please respond with your comments, if possible.

Thanks for your quick response! Email korar agey ami implicitly assume korechilam je tui (and a few others) definitely interested hobi :). But I still wanted to send out a generic email - to see if we can get some new people/fresh ideas in.
I was thinking more of a "club" like atmosphere. Amar money hoy "band" brand naam-er onek gulo negative effects :) ... for e.g. ego-clashes, the need to perform with increasing frequency, etc.
I was thinking of our goals along these lines:
a) Meet at a regular interval - spend some social time with people of like-interests (music).
b) Discuss music which we can play as a group (like a band). example - 5 people presenting a jazzed-up bengali folk song - vocal, keys, drums, guitar, violin
c) Provide a platform for solos + duos
d) Catch-up with what's going on in the music world
e) Create a digital archive - to easily share music among us
Again, these are my 5 min thought on this. Perhaps, the first few meeting should be designed to figure out what would attract us to meet regularly, given our busy demanding life is US ;)

....
There were a few more email exchanges which I am excluding as they are not relevant. Also, I replaced the names of the email authors by A, B, C, etc.
Why post emails?
So, why did I post these?
Well, first, to give credit to the folks who were quick to positively respond.
Second, to provoke some more reaction from other BSSM members. (I know there are many others who are interested, but probably are running from class to class, or didn't get time to check their emails).
I will keep you posted on this topic.

Suvo Da,
Amar duto jinish money hoche. Jodio kichuta irrelavant tomar post-er sathey. Yet money holo ekhanei best bola jai.
1) Sound-recording is important. Amar money hoi, jeikono sound-loaded performance-r best feedback holo, nijer recording nijey shona. Onekta likhe likhe porar moton. Etey bhul-ta dhora porey, je perform korche tar kache.
Maane, natun korey toh aar scale ba notes ba beat shekhano jai na from scratch, minor gltiches gulo dhoriye dewa jai. And that I think can happen best if one is made to hear one's own recording.
Final output-er shomoi-eo jodi bhalo korey sound record kora jai, tahole future-y digital archiving bepar-ta easy hoye jabe.
2) Month jodi ekta audio podcast toiri korte paro, tahole bepok hoi. Audio podcast will serve a great purpose in;
a) a deadline, je month end-er modhdhye amake ekta output ditey hobe and thereby help in formulating short-term tasks and therefore goals. Next pujo-i performer-ra perform korbe, ba emni jamming korbe, tai diye motivation-ta long time sustainable hobe kina amar slight doubts achey.
b) Monthly podcast-e progress-ta bhalo kore monitored hoye jabe.

Response to Comment 1:
I agree. That would be the ideal way to go! But, we need to have our basics straightened out. Before recording our practice sessions, we need:
a) to have more practice sessions . (I don't blame anyone particular - I myself am struggling for time)
b) to meet more frequently . (We don't have to always practice when we meet - we can meet online, in a coffee shop ...)
Response to Comment 2:
I like the idea. I haven't thought about this before. I need to educate myself on the technical aspects. (Anyone who has ideas to share on this topic, please email me at subhabrata.ganguli@gmail.com).
