Playground.is #1: 6th March 2011.
Watasun arrived with a basic melody line, some lyrics for the chorus, and the (potentially paraphrased) words of Miles Davis "It's not about the mistake, it's about the note you play right after".
The audience of around 40 people arrived in small groups. Most had never met before. Some bought instruments, others played ones bought by the band and the PGI team.
Watasun and the audience worked together for 45 minutes on building the song and The Miles Davis Jam was born.
Playground.is a free event, with free booze (thanks to Howe Sound Brewing Co.), and an atmosphere free of judgement.
It doesn't matter if you can't play guitar, have no rhythm, or if you're tone deaf. Just come together. And create.
