The beat was kept
Zoey performs...Keep the Beat was a huge success. More than 1,000 Nelsonites and visitors came the to Lakeside Park to hear eight bands and to boogie in the warm sun and swim in the lake. At the end of the night, it appears that about $12,000 will be sent off to War Child Canada to help their work. It's becoming a community event that people look forward to, and a youth development project extraordinaire.
Check out some of the musicians (and their tunes):
James Lamb
Aspen Switzer
Miss Emily Brown
Mushana Marimba
Gemma Luna
Moither Mother
Kasia Juno
My daughter Zoey performed too - if anyone can tell me how to put an MP3 on the blog, I'll post one of her songs.
As the bookkeeper, roadie, police liaison, dad for all requests and orders... I was pooped for days.

Gary you're such a great dad! Are you still pooped or have you sufficiently recuperated? speaking of wars.. what a timing..
wish I could help you with the Mp3 thingies but I'm totally deficient in that department myself!
