AIDS Benefit concert

2008.04.25

David is very good with photoshop, that is how he created this poster.

My son designed this shirt. The T-shirts are just one of the ways he is trying to raise money for the AIDS walk. Wendy's sponsored him by paying for the printing of the shirts and an 8G Ipod to raffle.


This is the Ipod that Wendy's purchased for a raffle.

Everyone who gave a donation was able to have a red ribbon.


The concert took place at a coffee shop named the Blue Frog.


This was one of the performers, the dread locks are part of this gig. They are attached to his hat, it was all done in good humor and taste.

This is my son David, he is performing one of his songs here.

This performer is a regular at open mic at the Blue Frog, as you can see in her poster below.



This is Mel, she is one of my son's friends, she played her guitar and sang a few songs.


David performing again.

If you are familiar with "Modern Millie" the Broadway play, you have heard the song "Jimmy". David rewrote the words, to be Gimmie, it is the name of the coffee beans used by Blue Frog.

This is Karina, she is the owner of the shop. She is standing with her son, who is performing with a whistle.



Here is Karina's son again, he and his friend are performing, she is singing. They were the youngest performers this evening.




These two performers did a beat off, the one on the left would do some beats on his drums, and then the tap dancer would tap out the same number of beats. They were competing for the goofy looking head below.




My son David, is raising money for this year's AIDS walk in NYC. He is going to be walking as well.

He has done numerous events to raise money, putting on this concert is his biggest event.
