Preview of things to come: South Beach 2009 Meet-up

Welcome to Miami
Bienvenidos a Miami!

Jess and I met this past Thursday at South Miami Beach to discuss the initial preparations for our South Beach 2009 Meet-up. We enjoyed each other's company over lunch at a sidewalk café on this lovely autumn day. As we contently enjoyed the cool ocean breeze, we discussed how to best accommodate our very dear friends from this very special community. Jess has great organizational ideas, and we decided to take pictures and a video so that you can all get an idea of what to expect.

By the time we got around to taking the video, clouds were forming as if preparing to bring upon us the typical afternoon showers as the weather turns from the warmth of summer to the cool of winter. You will see these clouds in this video, and unfortunately, you will also hear the wind blow as well.

Cabel blessed this video with his inspirational song entitled, An Embrace Eternal. He also gave us another song for the slideshow presentation that we are in the process of preparing of all the pictures we took that day of South Beach, and others I had previously taken of Surfside, Bal Harbour, and Haulover Beaches. Here is Cabel’s explanation of his song selections,

The slower song with the acoustic guitar is something I recorded in my apartment several months back. The other is a song my old band recorded in Louisville...my daughter even has a cameo in this song (I recorded her one night when she was a baby trying to say her name, 'Siddha'...but it came out like Sid da da da da).

I called the acoustic song An Embrace Eternal

The more up-tempo song was called Vicarious Shorelines. We used to play it live all of the time.

Thank you Jess and Cabel.

ENJOY EVERYONE!
