Muzik Masti at Agile2009

The Agile2009 conference (at which I co-presented an Abbott/AgileTek experience report, Moving to Agile in an FDA Regulated Environment) has an annual tradition called Muzik Masti, which gives the musically-inclined conference-goers a chance to jam.

It was a little awkward at first, since the various musicians there came from different backgrounds and we had trouble finding a song that we all knew. So we mostly did instrumental improv.

Then someone had the genius idea to use the various agile conference literature as lyrical poetry. That was fun. And funny, in a way that's hard to describe but that I hope comes across well in this low quality video:

They called this year's event Muzik Masti Unplugged, since they didn't have permission to have electified instruments. So I brought some of my jug band instruments (gutbucket, washboard, banjo) to show people how they did it loud in the pre-electical days.
