Race Rockstar
This is Race and Maz putting on a long concert for our friend’s daughter Fionna to say Happy Birthday to her.
This is a great about a 3 minute video of Race singing another one of his Songs - “White Pumas”. Good classic rock and DJ Maz runs through it at one point with a few words. This is also a song they made for Fionna’s Birthday.
This is a super short shot of Race playing on the water in front of the W Hoboken. He was making up his own song and he kept looking at the people walking by hoping they would stay and make a “concert” in the end he just played and played until his fingers hurt because he wasn’t using a pic. Then he played some more. Really nice people at the hotel and Race and Maz had a blast
Hey so this is a video from last summer (2009) when we went to the Warped Tour and the guys from A Day to Remember asked Race to open for them. We were hanging out backstage and Race was drumming with them. Race actually thought he was going to really drum for them. You only have to watch the first 60 seconds or so - watch closely and you can see Race and then me trying to get him off of the stage. The band was really nice and it was a great experience for him. Anna one of Joyce’s friends found this on YouTube. Once the band starts really singing we are off the stage (just an FYI).
Here is a great compilation video we made for Michan’s Dad (Popo). It is just a nice peak at a day in the life or a few days I’m not sure of Race and Maz rocking-out in the rock-and-roll room. Race all of a sudden got into Techno music. Too funny! He likes this band Wooden Art I think we heard them on Beatport I forget but I can’t find a video of them. He (or DJ Martin) made a Techno Mix CD over the weekend with a bunch of Techno artists I’m sure you know most of them so I’m not going to bore you with their names. The disc was for his Popo so that was cool and something new which is even cooler. I got to pull out my turntables so that was great. I can spin much better than I can play guitar so at least I can teach him something. Enjoy!
I was starting to feel like Maz was getting left out a bit so I found this footage of Mazzie rocking out. Just a fun quick video of him singing and playing the guitar in our rock-and-roll room or basement as it is normally called.
I found this photo this weekend of Race in full Rockstar mode last year outside with his guitar in hand on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC. That is my niece Joyce texting away next to him. I also just sync’d up my Tumblr page with my Facebook page so if anyone is wondering what this photostream is about checkout my Tumblr page at http://rambam.tumblr.com I’ve been keeping a blog of sorts to track Race’s rise to Rockstar fame!
We went to our local Barnes and Noble this weekend to see Dan Zane. He is a great, talented, and fun kids performer and you may also remember him from the 80’s band The Del Feugo’s. Anyway Race brought his guitar to the show and Dan Zane ended up asking him to join him for a few songs. It was really nice of him to do that. Super nice actually and Race was really stoked for the opportunity. This video is of one of the songs that Race rocked out too with him. Race takes a few guitar solos and even does a great Power Stance about 2/3’s of the way through. He did ask Dan to play a “rock-and-roll” song because he was into “rock-and-roll”. I didn’t edit the clip at all since it captured the whole song so you will have to deal with a little shake but it’s worth it.
This clip is of Race singing and playing his guitar to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Under the Bridge. This is from about a week ago. Tonight he wanted to “rock-out” to Arctic Monkey’s he danced and sang a long to about 6 or 7 of their songs. We kept talking about how quickly Alex Turner sang and played guitar. He was enthralled by his guitar playing.
