Look Who's Here!

You saw him a few days ago. I know you did.

Who was it? And what did he bring?

Why it was Baby New Year bringing 2012!

It was hard getting his picture. It looks like 2012 will be a little hard to handle.

Octane5 Fundraiser

Octane5, the middle school aged boy band in New Albany Indiana is getting some press regarding their invitation to perform at NAMM in Anaheim California this month. If you are in the southern Indiana/Louisville Kentucky vicinity on Sunday January 8th, head over to Wick's Pizza in New Albany around noon for their fundraising concert. Last night's performance in Clarksville Indiana was a rousing success, reminiscent of some more famous boy bands' before-they-were-stars performances.

Help a Boy Band - Octane5 - Get to NAMM

Recently, a very good friend asked me to donate something for a fundraising auction to be held on January 8th in New Albany IN. This auction will be held to help pay for a trip to NAMM in California for Octane5, a very good local boy band. Her grandson Zayne Hutchison is the lead singer in the band.

I have been to a performance of the band, which was great fun, and I have more recently heard a vocal tape of Zayne singing. Very impressive! He's been a cutie all of his life, and I was happy to be able to donate. I hope someone bids on the painting I donated so it will be of some assistance toward their trip.

Octane5 is one of only 28 bands from around the country that has been asked to perform at the prestigious music event. Quite an honor, I think, for this little group of boys. I know the trip itself will be the thrill of a lifetime for them.

Here are pictures of the acrylic painting I donated, a photo of the poster for the band's fundraising auction and performance, and a photo of Zayne:





Good luck, Octane5!!!!!
