One of the highlights of the party circuit at Macworld Conference & Expo for several years has been the annual appearance of the Macworld All-Star Band. For the first time ever, the group made up of some of the best-known people in the Mac industry appear together to discuss their project in a freewheeling, out-of-control interview. They talk about the history of the band, how it is managed (or not), the complex process of putting together the set list, their audience, their rehersals and why they do this during the busiest Mac week of the year.
The band members and guests include:

So, why isn’t Jim Dalrymple a member of the band?
Ahhh, this brought memories… Sounds like the party has expanded – hopefully I can make it again some day. Hell, I’m not proud… if Bill wants to sponsor it I might be able to clear my schedule (and drag Mick along)
Thanks to the band for remembering and the good times – great group of people
