Well, about the songwriting contest first. Jason and Isaaiah won our first songwriting contest with their captivating..."Leisure Gulch". There was a little 4th grade humor on that video..so I was hesitant to share it. But this is our second Songwriting Contest..and at this writing we are still waiting for Gabriel to submit his entry...However, the Judges feel confident in awarding Jason Adams the "They Must Be Giant John Prine Award"...for his great song; "Trapped In A Box". Jason carries on the fine tradition of tongue in cheek songwriting...and self depreciating humor...Jason also made great use of the classic guitar chord turnaround!!Great Job Jason! (I am not sure why the video is so dark, it happened as it uploaded...)
Isaaiah wins the "Most Thought Provoking" Songwriting award, with her ballad " I want to Try Life" Which included nice song phrasing and ambitious poetry.
Here is Gabriel's Songwriting entry, Gabriel wins the WindhamCeltFest Songwriting award. Congratulations Gabriel!
Kevin wrote some nice music for this contest, naturally I had trouble filming and uploading it...so I might get a chunk of it up pretty soon. He is working on lyrics so hopefully we'll see that pretty soon.
The video will be here...when I get it....this video includes the second half of Kevin's music...the first half was lost into data oblivion...but it was cool
I also finally got a video of Markie's music...he had an audio recording on his aiptek, and was willing to do a reinactment of actually playing the music...Atanos Thilnoom
Its "buy on get one ride bracelet free day" at Oaks Parks every Tuesday. Kevin wasn't with us...but he was having a blast on a 5 hour each way road trip with his dad to go and fix a machine that Mark has never seen before. The people with the machine paid $500 just to pay for Mark's transportation to the site. Kevin and Mark got to stay in a nice hotel that even had a swimming pool. So don't worry they were having fun while we went to Oaks Park.
Markie, Jason and Isaaiah like to ride rides that make me dizzy to watch. Gabriel joined them on some of the medium crazy rides...and Gabriel also rode the bumper cars so many times that he became skilled at steering bumper cars.
