Hi, I don't want to hijack this thread, but it seemed the most appropriate place to ask my question since the posters seem to be of the musician variety. What do you folks think about recording the jams? I am coming to my first Hukilau and it sounds like there will be a lot of informal music. I am considering bringing a small mp3 recorder and mic, but I wasn't sure whether the musicians would care. With actual performances, it's generally easy to ask beforehand if a band minds, but in a casual situation (which the after-hours sounds like) I often find that it can be disruptive to try to interrupt and get permission.
I was also a little unsure if there would just be too much background noise to make a good recording.
Also, it would be a pretty easy matter to burn a few copies of the recordings to cd while at the Hukilau so that they would be readily available to all.
Anyway, I would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks, Don
