Rock on Dude

About eight months ago Eric decided that the kids needed a guitar to play with and see if it sparked any muscial interest in either Krystal or Bradley. They played with it a little and it just sat there.

Then all of sudden Bradley decided he was going to play with it. It was doing lessons over the internet, and soon was able to play Smoke on the Water (David, can you believe it?)

Bradley has spent some time on and wanted an electric guitar. So there we are, spending our Friday night (while it was raining mind you) at Guitar Center. Bradley walked out so proud with an electric guitar and an amp. He has spent every free minute these last few days in his room playing that thing. Woo hoo, finally something he is into besides soccer (Mom always said "Don't play ball in the house").

Eric and I always have music on but neither of us play an instrument. One of my brothers plays the guitar and another the drums. I was always the one who wanted to sing (too bad I don't do it well!) And now this! Where will this end? Will he form a band? Will we have to convert the garage to a place where he can jam? Will be be bugging Uncle Richard to make a recording in his studio? Have we created a monster?

Really, we are pleased. Music does nothing but help someone be creative. I just hope we soon hear many other songs then Smoke on the Water. I had enough of that with my brother!
