There were so many memorable moments from the Globaloria Summer Academy worth writing about, but only a precious few are preserved for posterity in video. It's lucky for us that one such moment was the spontaneous concert put on by our rock stars: Jim Allder, Kevin Warfield and Bob Turbanic -- a true highlight of the Academy. I'm happy to announce that thanks to the masterful uploading skills of our intern Trevor, these talented men have been officially launched into the glamorous world of YouTube celebrity!
Jim and Kevin's update of (and improvement upon) Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69" with a Web 2.0-centric "Summer of 2009" got things off to a lively start:
Watch Jim's rendition of "The Cat Came Back", and the group sing-along of "Summer of 2009" here. Also check out Jim's vintage clip from 1986 on his GEHS Band Blog.
The festivities concluded with an impromptu performance by Bob of "The Train Carrying Jimmy Rogers Home." This blew us all away:
For those who don't know the music of Jimmy Rogers, you can find a playlist here.
I'm only grieved that the video quality isn't worthy of its subjects. You guys will have to give us an encore at the August Academy!
For the musically inclined, I've listed below some web 2.0 music websites you may want to experiment with:

I enjoyed listening again. Good job guys. I only hope you will be able to perform for us again in August. If you are taking requests Lean on Me is one of my all time favorite songs.
