Proud Uncle

I just got home from Jack's bar and grill where we had a nice send off for my co-worker Kate who is moving to New York. I came to find my folks hovered around their Mac telling me to watch this YouTube video of my nephews Carter and Wil, my niece Maya, and their friends Maddi and Jack. They've formed a band (Carter and the Bluedogs) and played for their neighborhood block party.

I have to say that they are my new favorite band. Their "Harry Potter" song (the first one on the video)is really cool, but "I Wanna Live in the 24th Century" is amazing. But I'll let you decide for yourselves. Carter is playing the guitar, Maddi is sitting next to him singing, Wil has brown hair and is in the black round sunglasses, then Jack is the neighbor with the blond hair, and later, my niece Maya interviews the band. I was expecting something cute when I watched them; what I discovered was something much more. Enjoy:

Boy, that is so awesome.

I hope my two girls are making bands like that when they're 10 & 7.

Matt, are they in town?

I'll give them a free recording session to lay down those two songs, mix them, master them, and burn them a CD, if they're interested.

That kid can play the guitar. That's impressive.

Which is to say, I'm impressed.
