"On The Rebound - Jim McGorman Newsletter" Issue #25 April 15th, 2009 Hello Jim McGorman Fans! We hope everyone had a terrific Easter long weekend, and just think for some folks out there, this could very well be the start of spring in some regions of the world! To get the first part of your week going, check out our 25th edition of "On The Rebound" - Jim McGorman Resource Website Newsletter! New At "On The Rebound!" April is International Guitar Month! Click to view Jim the guitarist graphic! Just recently we learned that April is International Guitar Month. Although there is not an official website to celebrate this occassion, there are a number of blogs and websites online as people share some of their personal memoirs on how they plan to celebrate. We noted a few examples of how musicians plan to celebrate including very common ways such as perhaps taking guitar lessons, buying a new guitar or hosting a clinic. A few were a bit more wild and wacky such as making a guitar out of a shoebox just to add some fun to the mix. In the spirit of International Guitar Month, head on over to check out our slideshow Jim and his guitars for a reminder of the very impressive collection he has! Exclusive Easter Slideshow! Click photo to allow the slideshow to run (turn up the sound on your computer too!) To go along with our Easter theme, this past weekend we posted a newly crafted slideshow, just in time for Easter! Be sure to have the volume on your computer turned up and enjoy the background music, "Linus and Lucy," by Vince Guaraldi, one of Jim's favs! Jim Referenced In March Issue of Keyboard Magazine! In the March, 2009 edition of Keyboard Magazine, Jim was mentioned during an interview with his Best Damn Tour bandmate Steve Ferlazzo. Any mention in an industry publication is certainly cool! We also came across another Jim reference in a past issue from his New Radical days as well. Head over the news page to check it out all the Jim mentions and references! Jim And Avril Bandmate Steve Fekete at BMX Bike Museum in Germany! Click to view photo in full!
