Just on the way back from the Society for Ethnomusicology conference in Honolulu. I made a lot of changes to this site before I left, but the site seems to have reverted to a previous version somehow - I know the hosting company was moving servers, but that is pretty bad form. Oh well. Spent a month in PNG mid-Oct to mid-Nov; lots of catching up with people, and starting work on analysis of the music industry in PNG. My stringband book was launched in Port Moresby at IPNGS as well, which went very well (despiite the minister not turning up). The trip really confirmed why I love Port Moresby so much - bumping into people all over the place and really enjoying the warmth of friends and family.
