Thanksgiving dinner with Eber Lambert – by San Diego Reader blog
Posted by MsAlex in All Adam, Family & Friends on November 29th, 2009
Josh Board from San Diego Reader blog called Daily Crasher, had the opportunity to eat the Thanksgiving feast with Eber Lambert, Adam’s father and his friend Amy.
Fragments below, the rest is under this link.
But the last two years, I’ve had the Thanksgiving feast with Amy and Eber, a couple of interesting local writers I met at a friends party five years ago.
Last year Eber was doing a lot of texting. I was next to him on the couch, having our usual movie debates. He looked up and apologized for the flurry of texts, saying “My son just quit his job and go be on ‘American Idol’.”
He went on to explain that his son Adam [Lambert] was the understudy in Wicked — a play my girlfriend loved. A play I didn’t see because…well, it’s was a play.
He told us something about Adam making the top 10, but that he couldn’t share any more of the details with us. We told him we’d watch the show. We never did.
It was cool to see all the stories as Adam was rising to the top.
(…) We glanced at Ebers CD collection. Usually I notice people have a shelf filled with crappy DVDs (why do so many people own Independance Day?). He has one of the best CD collections I’ve ever seen (and he let me borrow his Zombies “Odyssey and Oracle”).
It was still 45 minutes until the bird would be done, so I took my glass of wine into the backyard to enjoy a cigar. I could hear people showing up, saying hello, and asking Eber about the latest controversy involving his son. At one point I heard Eber say “I asked him if he has someone he runs these things by before he does them.”

Found this research on the adamofficial.com forum, made by littleblackdress. I will supply it as soon as I know more.
Adam’s band – profiles of Lisa, Longineu, Monte & Tommy

Lisa Rae Harriton (keyboards)
Born 17 November 1980, she’s a singer/songwriter formerly with the Smashing Pumpkins; she has also composed and performed own music. She completed classical piano studies at the Royal Schools of Music and has a degree in jazz piano studies from the University of Southern California. Her parents are both musicians (dad a composer, mom a singer), and she started piano lessons at age 5.

No Twitter yet
________
Longineu Parsons (drums)
Born February 16, 1980, in Paris, Longineu learned to play the drums from his dad at the age of 2. He played with his dad in the Longineu Parsons Ensemble, and his “big break” was with Max Roach. He helped Ben Harper form the band Yellowcard and played drums with them. His musical influences include Anthrax, Slayer, Green Day, Nirvana, Megadeth, and many more, see more info here. He likes riding Harleys, and he has a lovely sweetie.
See his solo on drums
and lessons on drum technique
________
Monte Pittman (guitar)
As many of us know, Monte and Adam were in the band Citizen Vein together before Idol. Monte moved to LA from Texas in 1999. He started out giving guitar lessons, and Guy Ritchie (who was then dating Madonna) became one of his students. Monte taught Guy how to play some of Madonna’s new songs, to impress her. Madonna then asked him to give her lessons, and then invited him to tour with her. He also played with a heavy metal band called Prong. He lists an eclectic set of musical influences on his MySpace page, everything from Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, and The Doors to Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, John Denver, and Bob Dylan – sounds like he shares Adam’s awareness and respect for 1960s and ‘70s-era musicians. One of his nicknames is Montster.
