Why not just set up a daily time, say 9 p.m. eastern for people to sign in and chat?

Online discussions can be as entertaining as they are informative. It's all a matter of timing and participation. Nothing like a bare room to end a coversation, eh? As long as enough people are 'hip' to it in advance, a nice chat room can thrive.

Count me in as a participant.

It's actually good to use something like IRC where people might have trouble with the commands, because that way you weed out the idiots.

I don't think it can be construed as advertising when nothing in it is for sale :p

Anyway, I think it's a pretty good idea, but IRC would be much better.

Update on this Chat idea.

I've been asked by agencies if we'd be interested in interviewing some jazz pianist, and approached by the agency for the 5 Browns about interviewing them.

I said it would be more fun/interesting if our forums members could all be part of the interview process, probably through a chat session.

Let me know if you'd be interested, and I'll look into setting some of these up.

That sounds like a very cool idea, Frank! I don't know if you saw this when it was active, but we did something similar to that in AB forum when ShiroKuro set up a thread where David Nevue graciously and patiently answered several pages' worth of questions from us:

The "Let\'s ask David Nevue a bunch of questions" thread

No one is ever there!

How about we try for New Year's Day at Noon EST?

It would be nice if we could have a 'GUEST'. Any volunteers or suggestions?

Topics to discuss?

lilylady, that would be after midnight for me. What about 08:00 EST? Even if we don't have a guest, we can set a topic to discuss among ourselves. I suggest the 1st topic to be "Piano-playing techniques"
