    Default Halfway to Sanity

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9nDBbafybA

    My band playing live at a charity concert (at the school I teach at) last spring. Bassist is also a teacher in the school district.

    Same band I've been with for over 20 years. Old men playing old school punk

    The other videos are live from a small club outside NY from when we were like 22. Can't even see me. I'm going to try to track down some old CBGB's footage from us in the 80's as well.

    Nothing like a bunch of 12 and 13 year olds as an audience, let me tell you! We played for about 300 kids, which isn't the biggest show we've ever done, but they are so positive and enthusiastic. It's awesome.

    What's even better is we had kids playing with us. That was one of the few songs where we played alone. Kids played guitar, sang, and my son played drums with us (and guitar and sax). Had a horn section on one song. Very cool. Some of the kids could really sing, too! And we raised $3000 for charity. It's an annual thing.

    No question the $3,000 for charity is the coolest thing, and how great that the kids could learn that doing good for others can be fun!

    It was a ton of fun teaching the kids.

    It was particularly interesting trying to teach kids who sing musical theater stuff how to sing rock and roll!

    The lead guitarist/singer had a great time, particularly trying to teach my son to play and do rock poses. Can you say school of rock!
