"I already know you from +Google+"
I've been getting this more an more: People who know who I am and what I do from being here.
I sat-in with a jazz group and introduced myself to the bass player. He says to me, "I already know you from +Google+"
I greeted a new student. "Oh, I already know you from +Google+"
I get a call from an agent with whom I work from time-to-time "The client saw you on +Google+"
Are you having a similar experience?

Today we celebrate the birthday of the late-great tenor saxman Joe Henderson.
Only a few years ago, I played as a regular member of the Joe Henderson Memorial Big Band. The group consisted of several players from Joe's many bands. We had Joe's original book of his great compositions and arrangements Several of the charts were handwritten by Joe.
Though I was in my mid-40s at the time, I was one of the younger players in the group. I would sit and listen to the stories that were told about being on a recording session or tour with Joe. It was like hanging out at the original Blue Note session with my jazz heros.
Here are some recordings of that band playing those amazing charts. https://soundcloud.com/atmostrio/sets/joe-henderson-memorial-big-band

You’re invited to Hangout with us for our first LIVE Google+ Hangout On Air in-studio Concert on Saturday April 13th at 6pm (PDT). You can see what time that is in your part of the world here.
This is a live concert performance that you can attend via the internet. You can ask us questions and we’ll see and respond to you in realtime. It’s a trip!

We are deploying some fun and interesting production ideas that will make this a different hangout experience than other concerts you may have seen here on G+. You’ll certainly want to have your good headphones handy for this one.

One of my favorite young guitar students is moving back to Japan after studying with me for the past year here the states. Typically, this would mean fond farewells and plans to "keep in touch" that would likely go unrealized.
But those times are over. Why? Because when he returns home, he will find that I'm just a couple of mouse clicks away and his music studies will continue with me uninterrupted via my Online Guitar Lessons via +Google+ Hangouts. http://www.atmosmusic.com/wordpress/online-guitar-lessons/
Though I've participated in Hangouts as a musical professional almost everyday for nearly two years, they are still a miracle to me. It's way too easy to take these modern miracles for granted and the magical quality of what you all have created is not lost on me.
My heartfelt thanks goes to +chee chew and the whole Hangout team.

A smile, a reassuring nod or a small gesture of support for someone taking on a challenge. These little things are easy yet powerful.
Don't let that go unused.
