Looking for an Echo...

Normally this blog is entirely about the fun and sometimes bizarre happenings to our little family. But today is going to be different. Let me explain.

We're just figuring out how to use all the functions on the kids' new Wii game system that we set up in our living room. The newest discovery was the "internet channel" - through which we can surf the world of cyberspace from the comfort of our favorite living room chair.

So among the websites we were visiting last night was YouTube - the online video site. We were playing various segments of "Scrubs" episodes which never cease to crack our kids up. These are famous songs like "Everything Comes Down to Pooh", "Guy Love," the Star Wars Scene and my favorite clip of those men at work, "Overkill."

So after spending a half hour watching various funny songs which made everyone laugh, the kids went off to bed and I kept searching various musical clips through our television and discovered the Persuasions!

When I was in college, this was the song that we would sing - trying to pretend that we actually had musical talent. I couldn't believe that I still remember all the words and can sing it today (if you can call what I did "singing").

In 1992, shortly after graduating from Tufts, I travelled with a group of friends (old friend Amy DeBaun among them) from Boston to explore the environs of San Francisco. And wouldn't you know it, the Persuasions were filming a live concert in a small hall somewhere in Hayward! So we got to see them sing live!

So enjoy the Persuasions while they are "Looking for an Echo..."
