Party Weekend!

On Friday night, Sloan had another Dude Night! Adam and David came over for loads of fun; eating pizza, snacks and playing the Wii. David is good at Wii boxing, and Adam is "right on the money" with Guitar Hero. Ewan wasn't able to make it this time, and he was very missed. The next Dude Night will be Friday, November 13th.

Saturday was for the Ladies. Janie and Amy came over to hang out. Last week was Amy's nineteenth birthday, but she was out of town, so Sloan wanted to do a little party for her. There was a lot of singing involved; High School Musical on the Wii (Janie rocked it!), and of course, Happy Birthday.

Sloan had a great time both nights and laughed and talked a lot!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas came early for Sloan. The wonderful students at Duke finalized his guitar/piano stand, and to break it in, and to thank them for all their hard work, we had a Christmas Jam to celebrate! We shared a bunch of good food and good music with great friends! It is hard to even know where to start describing to folks who weren't here how amazing the party was for Sloan. There was a major jam session led by Sloan, Christmas carols, sing-alongs, ice cream cake!, and a very special surprise gift of three songs from Chris and Aaron of the Chris Hendricks band. Above is a highlight video of the evening, and here is a link to the many, many photos taken to document the fun. A very special Thanks to everyone who came and shared the evening with us, and a very big thanks to Rachel, Kristine, Brendan and Al from the Duke Biomedical Engineering class who made it possible for Sloan to create his music with everyone. A+ guys!Every friend in attendance came bearing their gifts of love, frien...

So It Begins...

TODAY was finally the day Sloan got to try his Guitar Rig and rock out on his own! How many engineers does it take? Four! Many of you have been hearing us talk about Sloan's Guitar Project that the Duke students are working on this semester for a long time now, but after a lot of hard work from the students over this semester, today it was ready for a trial. They even have it set up so Sloan can use the rig for his piano! Al, Brendan, Kristine, and Rachel have been so fun to work with, and have paid attention to every detail and request with great skill and greater thoughtfulness. Watch the video. Sloan's face says it all. Oh! And to prepare, Sloan has been watching his friend Aaron's videos on the website Free and Easy Guitar . (Aaron is the bass player for the Chris Hendricks Band) I better go warn the neighbors...

Talent Show 2010

Sloan participated in the Reality Ministries 2010 Talent Show along with many of his friends from TNL. It was so amazing and fun to watch everyone share their talents. Sloan had been preparing his act for several weeks before the show. He knew he wanted to play his piano, then about 4 days before the talent show, I overheard Noah and Sloan singing together. They were singing Let It Be by the Beatles. Sloan has been practicing that song with his Voices Together group, and I had heard him sing it before, but not like he was singing with Noah. I asked him if they would like to do that song for the talent show as well as the piano, and then the serious practice began. The big night came, and Sloan was slated to go on in the middle of all the performances. It was a packed house, with people standing in the back. Cameron brought out his crazy Don Seacrestki (Related to Ryan Seacrest???) character again, and worked the crowd like no one else can. To see and hear Sloan and Noah performing for...
