Video for "In a Lifetime"

I'm just getting caught up on all the stuff that's been out here in the past couple of years. Here's Joe Steiner's cool music video for "In a Lifetime," one of the gems of the East of Eden repertoire. To my knowledge this is the only song by an Eddy to have a music video--so far. Rob never sounded better and the song really holds up well.

Rob's Latest Novel Available on Amazon

You can download Rob's latest novel, Overdub (with illustrations by John Frigo) to you Kindle from Amazon here.  Here's the description of the novel:

OVERDUB is a lyrical exploration of the meaning of music, how it transforms our relationships, culture and technology. Isaac Rubinger is wounded in the Korean War, losing the ability to perceive or imagine music. Much as a person’s hearing can improve following blindness, when music plays Isaac hears physics: Space, time and even memory fold in on themselves. His brother’s young wife writes a letter that brings a visit from composer Hoagy Carmichael, and then from someone Hoagy believes to have the insight to understand this affliction. Only he’s not a doctor, but the most unlikely technologist, seeking to create new musical forms.

The novel came out May 26. Rob's previous novel, Dreaming of a Song, is also available on Amazon.

Broken Finger Photos

I've uploaded the famous Tom Himelick photos of Broken Finger, the folk/rock/bluegrass band Chris and Mark were in in the early 1970's, to a Picasa album that you can view here.  I'm also linking it permanently to a shelf in the Commons Pantry on the right.  Those were the days when hair was hair.

Latest from Southern Ivy League

Here is the latest from Matt's band, Southern Ivy League.  It's a seven-song EP called Demo with a very different sound from Likable Inbetween.

By the way, the Southern Ivy League was a real attempt by several Southern colleges and universities to create an athletic conference that would compete with that well-know Yankee institution.
