Summer Pick Of The Week - BOOK

Hello !

We hope that your summer days are going well so far! And today we are going to tell you what book is our Summer Pick Of The Week.

“Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.” 
― Ernest HemingwayThe Old Man and the Sea

Yes, yes, it is The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway! He is my favorite American writer and this book was his first one i read and is sort of "classic" for me.

A perfect book for your summer days on the beach (i hope) or just those relaxing moments. For everyone who loves and lives the sea.

“Then he began to pity the great fish that he had hooked. He is wonderful and strange and who knows how old he is, he thought. Never have I had such a strong fish nor one who acted so strangely. Perhaps he is too wise to jump. He could ruin me by jumping or by a wild rush. But perhaps he has been hooked many times before and he knows that this is how he should make his fight. He cannot know it is only one man against him, nor that it is an old man. But what a great fish he is! He took the bait like a male and he pulls like a male and his fight has no panic in it. I wonder if he has plans or if he is just as desperate as I am?” 
― Ernest HemingwayThe Old Man and the Sea

(is it time to go to the beach yet?) While i am writing this, i am looking at the ocean. It is one of it's best blue days. There is no boundaries between the ocean and the sky. Only shades of blue and white caps.

In the meanwhile we are presenting you our new "Friend" - a new piece of equipment. It is called Reverb Tank by Fender. We'll see what kinda jokes it got for us. It is specifically made for "surf" guitar sound and this is sound we are going for. Super excited to experiment with it.






We have been writing new songs! And in the latest one that 'came" to us the chorus is "mermaid is my girlfriend" :0 ! ha! i like it very much, it is cool and melodic and very catchy! (i've been singing it all morning today)

All the best, and
till the next post!!!

Snowboarding Opossum = Summer Pick Of The Week - VIDEO

Hey Yall!!

Happy hump day :) and happy warm June Wednesday!

Today we are presenting you a Video - Our summer pick of the week! And it is featuring a snowboarding opossum!!



Isn't he adorable!!!! With a pass from Burton and his lime and blue striped sweater?
Did you guys know that opossum is the North America's only marsupial (have a pouch) mammal? Yes, babies live in a pouch until they are 2-3 month old, and then they are carried on mom's back for another few month. Opossum's only form of defence when attacked or scared is to open his mouth wide and show all his teeth (as you see in a video in the beginning :)  or play dead... That's about it, well, it's not good at defending itself :)))))
Anyway, with that amazing pink tail that he hangs on by, and pink nose, and pink feet  - we love these animals!!!

Well, what does a snowboarding opossum has to do with Glen Landing? You are probably asking this question.

Well, friends, that will be our next post tomorrow!!! We'll answer this question in our next blog post. The clues will be revealed and the truth will come out!!!!

All the best!
WE HOPE YOU LIKE THE VIDEO! cause we LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Our Show At Gloucester Township Day

Hello!!!

Fresh report here from our show yesterday at Gloucester Township day at Veterans Memorial park!

It was a great begging of the summer celebration! The weather was gorgeous, fresh breeze and sunshine all day. We had our tent and table set up with t-shirts and seal gear :) and we had two contests going on: a FREE guitar giveaway which was such a hit! and also a huge gar of bubblegum, and you could win it if you guess the exact amount of pieces of gum in it.

It was awesome to watch kids trying to figure out how many pieces of gum is there. They were doing math, using a "Pie" method (?!) to calculate, they even asked for a calculator. Anyway, for everyone who guessed, there were 289 pieces of gum!!!! Right before BubbleGum song we announced the winner. A little boy won and he was so happy!

We want to thank ALL our friends and family who came to he show!! Especially our number ONE fan Jeff Knorr, our friend and our first bass player Brian Oberg now of The Wooden Owls , Neeka Caplan, and little Holly Evans. The stage was awesome,  lot of equipment there (well, that's how we roll). Also we got our sound engineer there, Ethan Caplan  - thank you Ethan!!!!!

The highlight of the show was appearance of our special guest Rich Quick, and WOW he killed it !!!! we played two songs together, and the energy there was unbelievable. Check him out! He is so talented.


Also we were happy to play our two new songs - Pizza and DiscoTeka!!!!! All little girls were dancing and having good time! yeah, that's what we want!

Just before our Pizza song we announced who won the guitar. And then a little rock star was born! you should see the excitement on the boy's face when he was running to the stage to get his prize!!!


GL and seals...
