A Virtual Charity Concert By Chef Keem's Imaginary Fantastical Fab Four From Austin, Texas!

It's a chef's band and the band members are all chefs. Thus, the name "Knife-Slinging Panhandlers". Actually, they're multiple imaginative personalities of only one chef - me, Chef Keem. Me, Me, Me, and Me. Sounds self-centered? Yep. That's why this has to be a charity lens, a virtual charity concert of my original tunes - panhandling for a good cause.












Proceeds of this lens go to "Operation Helmet", the most efficient organization to support our troops. Please visit their homepage and save a soldier's life, today!

Meet The Band! 

Here's your free backstage pass...

The pictures in this lens show me, sooner or later, somewhere in my past, usually while making a fool of myself. (I sobered up eventually, LOL - see my "Anonymous Alcoholic" lens about that story.)

I've written a few tunes over the last couple of years, and I arranged, played, and recorded them with my iMac and its fabulous Garage Band software. Then I made these songs into YouTube videos, with more of my pictures or with film clips of my cooking adventures in Alaska.

I hope you'll enjoy my original music. Additionally, please consider the featured selections of my favorite artists for your musical library at home. Your purchases will generate funds for "Operation Helmet", too.

I wash the dishes (bear naked)

In 1974, 2 guys from Texas met one Bavarian. They ate and drank and generated lots of dirty dishes. One day, they wrote this song. Over 30 years later, this song was finally recorded and set to tasty images from Alaska, along with pictures of those 3 friends...

Virtual Concert Week On Squidoo 

Music to raise money = a good time by all

U2 talks about the One Campaign in every concert they have. Coldplay talks about Oxfam International. A stage with thousands of screaming adoring fans is a good time to promote a good cause.

Remember "We Are the World"? Farm Aid? Band Aid? All hosted to raise money for causes. How? Bands got together to perform, raise awareness and donate money. What a great idea!

Summer is concert season. It seems like all bands go on tour. Nothing like live music on a warm summer night!

What if you could host a benefit concert? You have a cause that's important to you. What better way to have it announced than by your favorite performer in a room full of people who paid big bucks to get there?

This is the point of the Virtual Concert Week on Squidoo.

Who would you pick and what cause would you raise money for? Make a lens and tell us about it!
