Acid Rain Radio Special Feature – Jack Garbus playing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Here is my best friend Joe Garbus’ son Jack performing a classic Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles. “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney that was recorded by The Beatles for their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Click on the youtube video below and experience the intensity that is Jack Garbus… Check out my Internet Radio Station called Acid Rain Radio at http://www.acidrainradio.com for more cool tunes you can stream right to your computer.

Joe was kind enough to write a few words about Jack and his love and challenges in getting into playing Guitar.

Jack is 8 years old and has been playing guitar since September 07. He actually wanted to play guitar when he was 5 but the folks who run the local music store said his hands were too small. At 7 Jack went back in and they said that he was ready to go. He started playing simple tunes like “Ode to Joy” and learned a few parts of other classics like “Smoke on the Water” and “Day Tripper”. Jack takes a 30 minute lesson each week and jams with his overzealous father on drums and bass on a regular basis.

Enjoy,

Joe

It’s Michael’s 14th birthday and what better way to celebrate but with lots of tech!!!

Well, Michael is now 14.  Instead a party at Chucky Cheese he asked me to pull together a Halo 3 party.  Well you all know what a geek I am so I went all out.  I think I almost had more fun than Michael’s friends did.  Thank you to Aunt Ellen for letting me borrow her projector.  It was a great success!  Michael’s comment this morning before school was “That was excellent dad, thank you so much!”.  I was really trying for Cool Dad status and hopefully achieved it.  Take a look at the pics and video.  It was a blast pulling it all together.  Pictures are directly below and the video below them.

Enjoy….

Michael is in Iceland!

Hey everybody. I just thought I would write a quick post about Michael’s current whereabouts! He is in Iceland! He left on the 28th of August and will be back on the 31st of July! I spoke to him last night and he sounds like he is having a great time! He is visiting with all of the family while there. Nanna and Gardar, Gunnhildur, and the entire family. I want to thank all my wonderful family in Iceland for hosting Michael. I love you all very much.

Michael told me that he is working in the mornings and playing, traveling, exploring, riding horses, and so much more. He even said that he may even bring home some money from working at the Hotel! He is heading up to the north next weekend to celebrate what would have been my Amma’s (Olina) 100th Birthday. It sounds like it is going to be quite a celebration. Carolyn and I very much wish we could be there with our entire family but we are happy that Michael is our ambassador.

Michael, have a wonderful time. We miss you very much and love you more.

I thought I would also post a slide show that I found on YouTube that shows the sights that Michael is experiencing now. Hope you enjoy.

Jamie and Brennan Wedding Video Post by Chris Duncan

Hi all. (From Chris)

I thought you might have some interest in this video (for some to re-live, for others to experience for the 1st time) from Jamie’s (Lindsay’s cousin) wedding where Lindsay’s brother and his band mates played. I think you’ll agree that they have serious talent. I don’t have the newlywed’s email so please pass along.

I don’t record much video so I still need to figure out how to use my flash, but I have the sneaking suspicion that you’ll understand what is going on….

Chris…

Thank you Chris for this great video. Christian

Hey everyone! Please send me any other cool family material that I can post up here!
