United Breaks Guitars Song #2

Hello everyone,

This is Jacob's mother and teacher--the same person. :) I have made an assignment for Jacob's schoolwork this year to post on his blog regularly. How regularly depends on if he prefers writing with pencil and paper on a particular day. I have a feeling, though, that there will be a whole lot more blog posts here than there have been in the past. :)

I would urge you to check here regularly and encourage Jacob by leaving short comments. In fact, I would suggest that you make your comments relative to the length of his post! Thanks for your help. My goal in this is to encourage Jacob to consider that communicating his thoughts to others is a skill worth pursuing. In other words, "Writing can be fun." :)

Thanks for your help,

Mrs. Bornemann



Hi all from Snowyville,


I have some big news in relation to my last post! Mr. Carroll has come up with the next song in his "United Breaks Guitars" series. I have posted it below.

I view this song as an all-around good music video.



I will keep you posted when he writes the next song,

Jacob

Hi again,

Sorry about that.

United Breaks Guitars

Hi everybody,
The other day, Andrew's friend e-mailed us this video & we all thought that United Airlines
should have had a little more respect for people's property.
Here is Dave Carroll's story behind the song: Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story... - In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at http://twitter.com/DaveCarroll. Video Produced by Curve Productions of Halifax, http://www.curveproductionsinc.com./

United says that they will use this video as training material, & are trying to make up for what has happend.
