Click the links to view some fun videos Doug and the boys made over the 2007 Holiday Break. (They are best viewed in sequence.)

This project started when Doug's family sent us a set of "hand chimes" (metal pipes cut to specific lengths, with strings as handles) for Christmas. They also sent a video of their family playing a Christmas song on their hand-chimes, accompanied by a challenge for us to do the same thing. No challenge can go unanswered by the Goodin boys! We recorded these videos with our little digital camera. The camera's results were great but they are bit jerky here - we compressed them quite a bit to make the files small.

The Training
The Performance
The Outtakes (Two tips: just wait through the first bit, it gets better; and believe me, Doug is ACTING at the end - if you don't realize that, you might be frightened!)

Here are our 2008 submissions to the Holiday Video Hall of Fame!

Colom Spreeal
Eye of the Tiger (Sorry about the poor quality video; we made the file small for folks with slower computers....)
