In reply to thanks, Larry, and about that concert..., posted by heaven help me on June 1, 2006, at 13:04:27
> (just left the alternative board) My teenage daughter and I are best friends and I'd say that a big part of it is that I listen to *her* music with her, day in - day out. It took me a while but now I really like it and in the mix, we became great friends. So, ENJOY the concert!
Oh, we did! Sorry. I can get very single-minded in my writing/thinking.
My fourteen year old son, Alex, started expressing interest in guitars, especially the bass guitar. So, I dug out my old Ricky bass(much love there, but I injured my arm), and we primped and polished and re-strung it and set it all up. Bought him a practise amp. It lives with him, the bass, but it comes here when he does. That's the only rule. I get to hold it, too.
Oh, the concert..... Doh!
We saw The Cult, and two other bands. Bangkok 5, out of LA, and one other. The Cult did some really guitar-hook laden stuff back in the 80's. "Love Removal Machine." "Fire Woman." "Wildflower." He'd heard lots of their stuff before, even if he didn't know the band.
Great show. Great to do this with my son. His neck hurt from the head slam thing. I'm glad I never learned *that* one.
When he woke up the next morning (just before noon), I was playing my six string. He said he thought he was still at the concert.
My ex was with my other son that weekend, just so we could do this thing. Thomas's turn comes this summer. He wants to go fishing. Cabin. Boat.
Yup.
Thanks for asking.
Memories being laid down. Good memories.
