John Lennon Bus in Baldwin Co.

BALDWIN COUNTY - It's not exactly a "magic bus" but it's close. A mobile recording studio known as the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus made a stop in Baldwin County Sunday. The bus is meant to encourage kids to write and perform music.

For a music lover the John Lennon Bus is a proverbial "candy store". Packed with the latest studio technology anyone can briefly live their American Idol dream. One excited kid told us, " It was so cool! I played the drums."

The John Lennon Bus will be spending the next couple of days in Baldwin County. The bus's purpose is to help kids tap into their creative potential by writing and recording a song and then shooting a video all in one day. Lennon Bus producer, Doug Parsons told us,
" Have them record everything, storyboard a video with them. Shoot the video, do all the editing in an 8 hour period then they leave with a Maxell cd, a maxell dvd, of their song, of their video."

Over the next couple of days, a hand full of students at Fairhope high and Robertsdale High will have a chance to make one of those videos. Then Tuesday night the bus will be back at Lulu's to show the video the kids put together.

" If you think something you can do it. You can do anything with a computer and your brain." Parsons said.
