The Motions added a new guitarist/singer Chuck Throckmorton to the group, and played their debut gig with Chuck at Titanic on Friday, November 27, 2009 to a packed house. The band rocked, and everyone had a great time. Chuck brings a new sound to the band and really enhances the vocal harmonies of the band. He has a unique guitar style that compliments the band’s arrangements and he shows his versatility by adding keyboards and harmonica to the mix. By day, Chuck is a well-respected attorney and founding member of the prestigious law firm of Kozyak Tropin and Throckmorton, P.A. We are delighted to have Chuck with us.

The Motions have been staying busy!!! We played at Mr. Moe’s on Saturday March 14th and than played again the following Saturday at Titanic. We had a great time at both gigs and had a great turnout. We particularly liked Mr. Moe’s because the food was great and there were a lot of enthusiastic college girls to cheer us on. I guess we reminded them of their dads, only cooler
Who’s your daddy?!!!

On January 31, 2009, a week following the successful performance at the K.I.D.S. fundraiser, Christina Christian will be performing again with The Motions at a special invitation-only showcase performance for Miami’s top attorneys. It should be lots of fun, despite the lawyers.

You saw it here first, folks! The world famous “The Motions” now claim there own piece of the dot com world. Thanks for checking in. We encourage you to revisit this blog to see what’s happening in the exciting world of legal rock and roll! Thanks for being a fan and till next gig!

Thanks,

This is the first line from William Shakespeare’s, Twelfth Night.
I always liked this line but recently learned that for years I had misinterpreted it.  I always thought that it meant that music was a catalyst for romance, i.e., candle lit dinner, soft music, bottle of wine, etc..  In other words, keep playing the music so that the romance will be fed.

Upon further analysis, it turns out that it means something else.
Duke Orsino was frustrated in his courtship with Countess Olivia, so he was expressing that an excess of music might cure his obsession with love, in the same way that eating too much may remove one’s appetite for food.  In other words, he thought that music could be a substitute for love.

Pretty cool huh?  Regardless of how you interpret the line, music is still awesome.  It will either promote love or become a substitute for it.

Which leads me to the point of this e-mail — more shameless promotion.  It just so happens that an abundance of both music and food may be obtained tonight at the Titanic, featuring our band, THE MOTIONS.  (Sorry, just couldn’t resist one last plug for the band)  In other words, according to Shakespeare, the Motions will improve your love life!!!   (disclaimer: individual results may vary)

We hope to see you all there!
