Their Bio: Drifting Son took shape in Manchester during 2009, after Leddie Jackson completed his recovery from surgery to repair spinal damage that affected his arms. After six years of not being able to play (or even hold) a guitar, he was excited and grateful to resume playing music. He immediately recorded a series of demos that attracted the attention and involvement of his fellow band members Ted and Carlo. {mp3playlist}mp3playlistdriftingsun{/mp3playlist} |

Ted has played countless shows throughout the Manchester area with The Agents, The Sirois Brothers, Pango, Dances With Cougars and Shades Apart. As a full time guitar tech, Ted has provided repair work to Manchester area clients and instrument shops for over 10 years running. In addition, as a teacher of guitar and bass, Ted has been “instrumental” in the development of countless local musicians. Locking down the groove since the age of thirteen, Carlo Carluccio grew up in Manchester and graduated from Trinity High School. Since then, he has shared the stage with Bruce Kulick, Paul Stanley, Roger Daltrey, Cliff Williams, Spike Edney, and performs frequently in Manchester with the cover-band, Without Paris. |

Heck! Why wait, do it in 2012! We will be able to get together with out CT cousins who do it that way!
Where else in the world do you get a week at Christmas, a week two months later, a week two months after that, then 7 weeks 6 weeks later?
The flexibility it provides in starting school, ending school and handling snow days is well worth it.
Personally, I think the kids can handle an extra week of Summer Vacation, don’t you?
This is something that has been talked about for decades. In this era of closing schools every time a snow flake flies, it’s high time. However to do it this year would not make any sense. Keep in mind folks book flights well in advance for vacations. I would recomend starting it for the 2012-2013 school year, or maybe the following year in order to give folks plenty of time to make plans. Lets make a plan and stick with it. LETS GET IT DONE!
