NAMM Convention
Written by Tony Aiello |
Another year has gone by, and it's another bitterly
cold January and February here in Pittsburgh.
However, this year, Don Hollowood was the chosen
one to go to Anaheim, CA and bask in the warm
Cali Sun, have fun at Disney, hang out with
rock stars all day, party all night, and get
to play with all the new toys being presented
at the NAMM show. Alright, so maybe it's not
all that, but it is a good time. Can you tell
I'm just a little bit jealous?
For those of you who are not aware, NAMM, aka
the National Association of Music Merchants,
annually in January, holds their largest convention
in Anaheim, CA. where all the manufacturers
display and demo their "latest and greatest"
to music dealers from all around the world.
From small almost closet sized displays to one
company using an entire ballroom in a nearby
hotel displaying their gear, it's an amazing
place to be for these four days in January.
Lights, sound, fog machines, anything goes for
these displays and you can taste the excitement
in the air. Or maybe it's the NAMM hotdogs on
the grill? Hm? Sorry, I digress.
From demonstrations of new gear from product
specialists to full performances from some of
the biggest names in the biz, there's a surprize
around every corner. And this year was no exception.
