• Jim - I've wanted to make the connection between music and WikiEducator for some time....I think there are many possibilities...could we start a page somewhere to discuss, how we could bring in other musicians and arts folk...to see what they want to create? (BTW: what country/area are you from? Randy Fisher
  • Randy, right on! I like your approach of music + WE. Country=USA | Area=Seattle, WA. Where you at? Jim
    • I'm in Vancouver, Canada - could we chat by phone? Randy Fisher 01:31, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
      • Sounds like great step ahead! Why don't I call you? Do you prefer to chat on Wednesday morning or Thursday afternoon? If not these, I'd understand and work with you on making other arrangements. Jim
