storytelling 101

I loved this presentation… for its message AND its energy! I got it from a very cool site called Slideshare.net. And since we are all in the “presentation” business both personally and professionally at times, it’s worth the 3½ minute-watch.

Like I preach incessantly in my classrooms…

Communication is King!

Get great at it, in all ways, always.

suite oblivion slideshow

From 1997-2003, I played in a rock band with many great musicians from my hometown, Rockford, IL. The band was originally called Patron Smith, but we eventually changed our name to Suite Oblivion in 1999. Suite O’ released one album entitled Shine in 2001, and did very well playing all over northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin for many years.

I’ve been threatening to produce something like this for a long time… and now, finally have. This video/slideshow is set to a medley of original music from the Shine album and features the classic Suite O’ line-up of Mitch Brechon (vocals/guitar), Jay Mock (lead guitar/vocals), Christian White (bass/vocals), and me (drums/keys)… circa 2000-2003. Love those guys!

I’d like to thank ALL the great musicians who have contributed their talents to this band over the years!
