Crossing boundaries: 16 year old metal fanatics playing with 60 year old blues guys
by Anthony D. Williams

"A couple of month ago Wikinomics co-blogger Lawrence Chen wrote about Riffworks, an online recording application that allows guitar players around the world to compose music in a collaborative fashion. I recently had an opportunity to chat with Riffworks co-founder, Doug Wright, about Apple II classics, midi keybaords, and notator programs and how much the world of digital recording has evolved since then. Doug had a lot of insightful things to say, but I found the tidbit below inspiring. He talked about how Riffworld (the collaboration site for Riffworks users) is breaking down musical barriers and giving rise to global, self-organized groups of guitar players that write new music together."

Just out of curiosity: on which song or collab exactly did the 60 and the 16 year old jam together? Is there something about Bill & Mickey's age difference I don't know?

And if it's not them, who is it? Hard to tell from everyone's behaviour in this little community. People like Colin, Jouni, Pooter or myself could be either 16 or 60 for all I know
