I was walking on Main Street and saw a poster I hadn't seen a few days before, for a conference on ethnomusicology at Wesleyan.
I turned to find a man carrying a red bag emblazoned with the conference logo walking by. I stopped him and introduced myself, and he in turn told me he was David Harnish, from Bowling Green University, a gamelan master.
He explained that the annual Society for Ethnomusicology conference had just begun, and that there would be concerts through the evening at the University.

Thanks for the post about the SEM conference. There are a large number of local folks involved in this, and it has been a real pleasure to host 800 or so of our colleagues from around the world here in Middltown.
