Sanford School

I've been teaching two classes through the River Tree at the Sanford school system. One was a middle school class on guitar and songwriting, the other being an elementary age group. This is what I learned about composers from my younger class:

-All composers are great singers. A popular example of this would be Beethoven.

-A list of great contemporary composers:
Jonas Brothers
Taylor Swift
Miley Cyrus
Avril Lavigne

Another student raised a question about other people composing for the composers....

Duane In Action, Part Deux

Here are some pictures from another Liberal Cup gig, this time with Johnny No Shoes.  I have another Ray Brown transcription coming, but my scanner is busted.  Oh well.  Clicky the pictures and they get big.

 

Duane in Action

This is from the Evan King Group gig at the Liberal Cup on April 26th. A couple months in the making from Christina's brother's camera, but better late than never.

Stuff in May

I've put up a new song, "Chowdah a la Mode," from the album. This is the first tune we recorded, I liked the way it came out. It shall humbly live on my blog until we find a better avenue for said recording.

Here is the poster for our next big gig at Blue in Portland on Saturday. Clicking on the image gets you a bigger and higher fidelity picture, which I recommend.
