Speaking of tastes, mine have been expanding. I've been listening to orchestral stuff, mostly opera and stuff based on video games. You'll also be proud to hear that I'm into classic rock. Elvis Prestly depending on your definition of classic rock.

Guitarwise, I haven't had much time but I strum a few chords here and there. A co-worker has invited me to join their band as their singer. I may take him up on the offer once things with the baby settled down.

I'm back to work. I was offered a promotion so I ended my leave with my BF taking the rest of the leave. Couple months later I was offered yet another promotion and accepted it. So yeah, it's been crazy… Geez...never had a daughter but you'd have made a good one!

I've been exactly where you say you are right now at your stage in life...and in the same circumstances. I stayed with it besides all the" kids/car payments/mortgage/#42". It's the best decision I ever made. "Strumming a few chords here and there? "Truck on! Truck on!!! :wink:

At least three of my grandkids, when they were babies, I tried to calm them down by playing gentle, soothing guitar music and crooning along....seemed to make 'em more cranky. BUT.....if I turned the gain up, cranked the volume up and played slide guitar, they'd all ROCK that bouncer! Bad to the Bone and Rocky Mountain Way were particular favourites, but anything LOUD and with lots of slide would get the little so-an-so's gurgling away happily!

Lots of GN love to baby Sunset - what did you call her?

:D :D :D
