The Leave a Lasting Mark Series: Rock Songs of 93

The person in the last photograph is a man called Sam Teichman, who regularly runs marathons and fundraisers alike. Several years ago (October 2010), I shot the very first LaLM, which was themed on Born To Run. The purpose of the first one was to raise more funds to sponsor his marathon running. It consisted of lots of musicians performing Springsteen’s great hits over two hours and twenty performers, raised about $1500+ and the profile of a lot of the people involved. Fans got to hear new bands, everyone got to meet new people and the atmosphere was perfect.

It hadn’t been planned to be as regular a reoccurrence as it has since become (thought to be a yearly thing, it is more often every two months) and a whole bunch of money has been raised for various charities since then. Some of my favourite songs of 93 from last night’s show included Creep by Radiohead (sung by Dave Pittenger, pictured second to last) and the very last group song I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers (led by Freedom Bremner, sung by everyone).

I met some new friends and caught up with old ones, and the atmosphere was great. My photos from the night are now up on Flickr and Facebook.
