Nov 17 Aron House Party Fall 2023

Stephen Aron

We had our annual dinner and bonfire party recently—almost the entire studio came to join us, plus a couple of old friends/Akron alums with their spouses. We skipped the usual jam session this time, in favor of a student-led (read: Suvan-led) game of guitar trivia a lá Jeopardy. While I missed the cross-instrument music-making this time, the game was amusing. The bonfire was big, and the students helped me add the mountainous brush, piled nearby after a recent maple tree loss, onto the fire in cacophonous flare-ups. There were too few photos, but here are a few. Many thanks to my wife, JoNell, for helping make this happen!
