In fact, they helped spread the use of saws as musical instruments throughout the world, and they kept this art form alive when it fell out of grace in the entertainment world.<br /> <br />With much gratitude,<br /> <br />Natalia<br /><br />From: ann chin <br />To: "Saw Lady" <br />Date: Sunday, November 1, 2009, 11:05 PM<br /><br /><br />Hi Natalia,<br /><br />Alan doesn't have an email address, I tried to contact him through<br /><br />Alan Pitts:http://www.vac.org.nz/seniors.html<br /><br />Contact us:- email<br />Variety Artists Club of New Zealand (inc) <br />PO Box 100280 North Shore Mail Center<br />Auckland<br />NEW ZEALAND<br /><br />Dr. Tow Siang Hua:<br />calbp@pacific.net.sg <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Ann<br /><br />P/s I don't really know them, I just met Alan on Saturday, Dr Tow is a busy doctor and church pastor in Singapore.<br /><br />--- On Mon, 11/2/09, Saw Lady wrote:<br /><br />> Subject: Re: [NYC Musical Saw Festival] Please moderate: "Musical Saw Festival 2010"<br />> Date: Monday, November 2, 2009, 12:09 AM<br />> Dear Ann,<br />> <br />> Thank you very much for your e-mail!<br />> I have heard the name 'Alan Pitts' but I<br />> don't think I actually know him. Of course it would be wonderful if Alan and Dr. Tow would be able to come all the way to New York to perform at the Musical Saw Festival in July. I realise it's a huge undertaking to travel all<br />> the way from New Zealand and Singapore to New York... so I won't be surprised if they don't want to do it... but I would be very grateful to you if you could tell them that they would always be welcomed to participate in the<br />> festival. The festival is a big concert, followed by a workshop where saw players can meet other saw players, try different saws, bows, etc and learn new techniques. Then<br />> there is socializing time for saw players to get to know other saw players. It's a fun and<br />> educational event for saw players, where experienced saw players share their knowledge with beginner saw players.<br />> Thank you very much for telling me about the two saw players you know!!! If they have e-mail, please give them<br />> mine, so they could contact me.<br />> Thank you and all the best,<br />> Natalia<br />> www.SawLady.com<br />> <br />> Date: Sunday,<br />> November 1, 2009, 12:58 AM<br />> <br />> Author : ann chin <br />> URL : http://ann-mythoughtsandphotos.blogspot.com<br />> Whois : http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=125.238.14.116<br />> Comment: <br />> Hi,<br />> <br />> I am now living in Auckland New Zealand, and yesterday I went to a festival in our Rose garden. I saw this gentleman<br />> I have mentioned in my site. He was playing his saw. This is the second time I saw a saw being played to make music. He is Alan Pitts, and from his name card, is a famous musician.<br />> I told him I saw Dr. Tow play in Singapore. <br />> <br />> I posted this on my site last night, and this morning, I got a comment from M. Unfortunately, her site is not open and I can't contact her. <br />> <br />> If you know her, tell her, I will attempt to contact Alan by phone.<br />> <br />> It is incredible to hear beautiful music from a saw. <br />> <br />> Thanks,Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-68380895421503713092009-11-01T21:30:39.655-08:002009-11-01T21:30:39.655-08:00A mobile oven chimney for me!Thanks.A mobile oven chimney for me!Thanks.Thomas Lee/Lee Lip Panghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855358816772529182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-66763805714008228322009-10-31T08:13:00.589-07:002009-10-31T08:13:00.589-07:00Could you tell Dr. Tow (and also Alan Pitts, if yo...Could you tell Dr. Tow (and also Alan Pitts, if you happen to see him again) about the annual NYC Musical Saw Festival, please?
