I'm reeling with the strange effects of time on my parental self. Accelerated growth of the offspring is a commonly experienced phenomena, but lets face it -- you can't imagine it properly till you been through it personally. So the boy is SEVEN somehow, some way, and what's more- he's kicking off his music education with an amazing program called Rockland Band, in SF. They rehearse at the venerable Verde Club, where the walls get rocked all week with the many different youthful bands they form each session of Rockland's calender.
Makai's band name? The Galloping Caterpillars. What else?
And the music Makai and his ten or so band-mates come up with under the guidance of Brian Gorman and Marcus Stoesz, among others, is truly inspiring. There's a story under each unique song written in the classes, and.. well -- Oh, let me shut up and play this video -- Look for him on drums and whatnot...
Here's a link to the song itself, Mrs. Beluchiz, which is playing over this video's montage. The offspring is now back for the Fall/Winter session, loving it. New band name, Tigers in the Tomb!
