09/01/2006 Entry: "Hecht Fest Dude Dude Chick Video"

Back again from camp and don't I feel great. As it turned out, there was an opportunity for Julie to come along as an extra child minder. That was groovy, because it was like a weeklong extension on our last day together before she returned again to France for a few weeks to take care of some business.

The kids were by the other colleagues "the best group all year". Rob did a presentation about New Zealand and one child asked eagerly about whether the animals (kiwis, kakapos, opossums) were tasty. They were very receptive to Julie's presentation about France and we all learned a little French to boot. She taught them the refrain of Aisha. They loved the song, and all the lads had a huge crush on her. I brought my axe and taught them Wagon Wheel, which they also loved to sing. Over and over and over.

Videos were made, which I hope to share as soon as they come my way in a while, but for now I only have the videos that Robert Tyson of Macon took of our last gig at the Hecht Fest last weekend. This one is Wagon Wheel, preceded by a short clip of our homage to the 70's TV show Emergency. It should be noted that at Camp, however, in the third verse I "had a nice long joke".
