Wotta Weekend, with Video!

Wow, this was a really fun, full weekend. I'll be concise here and get the videos into this post; I'm sure Doni will tell a fuller story. Dean came for a visit on Friday. On Saturday, we drove to Valencia and watched Paige perform with the Ramona Percussion Ensemble in a high school competition. Dean used her digital camera to make a video of it, which really turned out well.


Here's a video of Paige's Drumline in Valencia.

When we got home Saturday night, Kyle and Lindsay were here, so we practiced "Why Not?", a song by Kyle that we were performing at the Claremont Folk Center Open Mike Night on Sunday.

Here's a cute (thanks, Dean!) video of one take of the song during rehearsal.

Sunday morning, I helped Doni fabricate some new straps for my accordion (thanks, Doni!).

Sunday afternoon, Dean, Kyle, Lindsay, Doni and I went to Claremont, had a nice lunch, and watched the show.
It was the best open mike night I've seen there so far!

Dean took some more great videos:


Brother Atom Bomb Of Reflection did a powerful version of "Little Red Riding Hood"


We had a great time playing "Why Not",
man that was a real gas!


And then after we got home, Kyle pitched "Weird Eddie" for Dean and us (thanks, Kyle!)

Enjoy the videos if you have the bandwidth!
