Lemonade from Lemons









Ever heard of musician Dave Carroll? I expect you will after this classic response to having his $3500 Taylor guitar smashed by intentionally careless United baggage handlers at O'hare airport. ;)

The song is actually quite catchy and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets picked up in rotation. As of this morning (and one day after being posted online), his YouTube video had over 130,000 hits and over 1,000 viewer comments. And two more songs are on the way.

Here's a link to the first video.

Cowboy songs used to be about themes of loneliness, whiskey, women and such. Why can't country music evolve with more modern trials of air travel!? :)

Link to iTunes here.

Well done Dave!

Update: Friday morning. Over 1.2 million views. United caves. Go figure.

Phil, now I'm waiting for YOUR music video on, oh I don't know, some piece of software maybe... Accept the challenge! Make a music video! I'm sure it would make us all smile, whatever it is ;)
