Rockin Carbondale

Below a bit of vid of the boy playing open mic at Marble Distillery.  He rocked it.  Thought it might be all Chris Cornell all night but he was the only one doing tribute to the Godfather of grunge.  Also just as a tip of the cap to the boy he had basically no time to prepare.  He 'learned' black hole sun on the drive to Carbondale in the back of the car (you should try playing guitar while driving in the back of a car).

We also went to the white house for pizza--it was great.  How come all the best restaurants are in Carbondale.  And also all the hipsters.  I think I was the only guy in the joint without a beard and a long steel hipster key chain.

black hole sun (soundgarden)
alive (pearl jam)

not bad set for a kid who had zero prep for this and the only song he had been working on prior to Chris's death was little wing
