Vocal Point: The Way You Look Tonight

Here is our friend, Mikey Christensen, again singing with BYU’s Vocal Point on NBC’s show The Sing Off. I must say, all these groups are SO GOOD, that watching this show in its entirety is totally worth it. It’s fun to see a BYU group doing so well, but having a friend in it just makes it that much...

Mike Christensen and Vocal Point on NBC’s The Sing Off

Here is a video of a dear family friend I thought you all should see. Mike (a.k.a. “Mikey”) is a member of Vocal Point. Mike and I have been in several bands together — and even cowrote a song (with Chelsea Barry) — but more importantly, the Christensens have been great family friends from our years in Eagle River, Alaska. If you are allergic to cats, yet agree to cat-sit...

Bass samples

This clip was originally recorded as a quiz for some of Tom’s bass playing friends around the world. It features Nicky’s voice, and Tom (the 7th’s) bass playing. In one ear you will hear a familiar slap riff, and in the other ear is a riff played “fingerstyle” so that you can check out both the slap and the normal tone of the basses. The basses are, in order left to...

Elder Pittman arrives in Guatemala

Josh left the Missionary Training Center in Provo on Tuesday, September 29, 2010, and headed right into Tropical Storm Matthew as it soaked Guatemala City.

Thankfully, the family received the following email from Josh the...

Josh enters the Provo Missionary Training Center (MTC)

After breakfast at IHOP in Orem (missionaries eat free on the day they enter the MTC), we went to the MTC to take photos before the mayhem of missionaries and mothers mobbed the place. After photos, we went back to the house where dad got in a suit and mum and Gemma got in a dress — well, they each got in their own separate dresses, not the same one – Then we headed to the Provo...
