[NEW RELEASE] LACOSTE - CABESTAN 75 YEAR
René Lacoste is above all, a legend. A star on the courts of Wimbledon, Forest Hills and Roland Garros, René was one of the famous Four Musketeers (Jean Borot, Jacques Brugno, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste) who dominated the game of tennis in the late ‘20s and early ‘30s. They eventually led France to six straight wins (1927 through 1932) in the Davis Cup, and Rene became the world number one tennis player from 1926-1927. Nicknamed the ‘Crocodile’ and ‘Alligator’ for his tenacious attitude on the court, Rene is now better known for being the namesake and creator of the iconic 12.12 Lacoste Tennis shirt, which debuted in 1933.
Fast forward 75 years and the brand are celebrating this momentous occasion by launching a series of monotone shoes inspired by their tennis and yachting heritage. Unique to the 75 year collection is the use of the original crocodile which originated in 1933 and is embossed onto the uppers of each shoe. Tastefully executed in a consistent black and white scheme, the pack is a fitting tribute to the original purveyor of cool. July Release...
If you've ever visited YouTube you already know how easy they've made it to view videos online. No more waiting for movies to download. No server crashes or time spent counting the seconds until it actually loads.
Yes, they've made it easy for anyone to upload their visions and ideas to the web. In fact, they have an entire section devoted to "how to" do something.
Recently, I uploaded my first video to YouTube. It's titled "Piano Lessons: December Twilight."
And with this video (hopefully) I show you how to create a piano improvisation in the Key of A Major using an ostinato pattern in the left hand while your right improvises melody.
I used something called a point and shoot camcorder by Pure Digital. And for $89 from Target, I have to say that it's quite something!
I positioned the little camcorder in one of my lamps (believe it or not) and sat down and recorded my first video piano lesson.
The great thing about YouTube is that viewers can tell you what they think. If they like it they can rate it using a star system and/or leave comments -both good and bad.
The other great thing about watching videos on YouTube is that you can watch them over and over again. This is especially helpful for learning something. You can pause and even skip ahead to wherever you want.
The maximum file size allowed on YouTube is 100 MB and this gives you at least 10 minutes of video time.
Anyway, I hope you check out my piano lessons video on YouTube and tell me what you think.
