On Monday, I went to the Co-Op to see the school's faculty rock band. I went because my Psychology professor from last semester plays rhythm guitar in the band and sang lead vocals for about half of the songs. According to their website, http://web2.uconn.edu/rockers/rockers.html, the band consists of
Davita Silfen Glasberg (Sociology): Vocals
Harry Frank (Chemistry): Vocals and Bass Guitar
Eric Jordan (Mechanical Engineering): Drums
David Miller ((Psychology): Vocals and Rhythm Guitar
Ernie Zirakzadeh (Political Science): Lead Guitar
They mostly cover Oldies songs but occasionally they do some newer songs. They played many songs, among them, "Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group, "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones, and "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. To see a list of songs that they cover, check out their page at http://web2.uconn.edu/rockers/oyrsongs.html. I thoroughly enjoyed myself despite the fact that there were not chairs anywhere around. I would recommend seeing them to anyone who might be in the area when they play, although it only lasted for an hour. I believe they also do private events, but not often. Most importantly, they were performing as a fundraiser for the Covenant Soup Kitchen which is always in need of money. It's for a good cause, please stop by next year and leave a donation.
Check out their website.

I have to say that this is possibly one of the coolest things that I have ever seen.
Unfortunately it won't let me embed the player onto the entry for some reason so here is the link.

So I was listening to a song by John Lennon called "Grow Old With Me" and it has quickly become my favorite. I can't believe I never noticed this song when I've had it for at least two years. Anyway I decided to record myself playing, more for my personal enjoyment than anyone else. I just like to see how I look when I play guitar. I also noticed that I make a lot of funny faces. So anyway, yeah, here's a version of the song that is nowhere near as good as John Lennon's obviously. I also recorded it seperately as an audio file and I didn't mess up as much on that one. Anywho, here it is
