Give SOAP a chance (Pat Helland singing on video)

Late night breaking news: Pat Helland singing 'Give SOAP a change' with David Campbell on guitar at HPTS gong show. Video is here (in wmv, 7MB, 3 minutes, other formats later when more bandwith). Lyrics by Don Box

Update on 06/11/04:Pat as asked me to pull the video, because of the legal issues involved with performing a song based on someone's intellectual property. Rightly so Pat is very conscientious about this, I would like to honor this, so no more video.

It's too bad that the video cuts out in the middle of my favorite verse (and that the legal code for it isn't visible).

The silly canon camera stopped at 3 minutes. I have the second part also, as well as a partially video of Pat's song 'CPU Bound'. I'll put this stuff up when back in Ithaca.

It looks from the photos as if Pat also did a version of "Feelin' Groovy" (XML-y).

Did he do an entire set?

Are you coming to PDC - I'm pretty sure Pat is joining us for our gigs there too.

Pat actually did 3 songs. XML-ey, (Feeling groovey), CPU Bound (Homeward Bound) and your Give Soap a Chance.

See you at the PDC. But first another Conference to sit through (SOSP).
