Band Night for Charity

So last Friday, the 15th, some of us in Jeonju decided to put together some live music in our favourite bar. My band "Unrequited Love & The Restraining Order" had been practicing at least once a week and some times twice a week and we were itching to get out there and play. We had 3 bands play and all the money we raised went towards the local orphanages (about a total of $500 was raised in that one night).

I really wish I could tell you just exactly what went down that night, but I was still trying to overcome a bad case of food poisoning that struck me naught two days before the performance and I was still a bit out of it. One of the reasons why I haven't posted earlier is because I was waiting for some videos of us to show up.

I've also got a link to my web-album where some pictures of the night have been posted. Enjoy these videos and have a Merry Christmas!

Hey! My brother's a rock star!!! I recognize that second song - My Baby wrote me a letter....that "Solid Gold" tape from the gas station when we were little! Sounds great Dave!! And great to see what you are up to!

As your brother-in-law (and future agent??) I think you need more stage presence ... and food poisoning is no excuse!!!

Tell Dave VanMinnen that he could easily pass as a stunt double for his brother Dan. Scary how much they look alike!!

Good to hear from you and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Man, I do remember listening to that solid gold album... I think everyone has. I mentioned it to David as well and he remembered listening to it when he was younger as well.

And as for stage presence... I guess I got to work on it. To be fair, it was my first live performance with the guitar. I figure I'll wait until next time to break out the live bat and lighting the guitar on fire ;)
