scroll down and you'll see some Youtube videos on the left (crappy audio) and some songs on the right.
My son is the bass player,
"getting use to it"? You were a true metal head at one time, Lynard Skynard, Boston........ for example.
Those groups were rockQuote:

I hope they stick with it.Quote:

I have a great picture of him with Jonathan Cain (keyboard) who wrote and/or co-wrote most of their hits. At 14 he could play most of the Journy songs from memory. I don't know where he gets it - all I can do is whistle
they are. They're recording 2 of their songs in a professional studio in February. Several more established bands have asked them to open for them.Quote:

If they find the lightning in the bottle they'll go with it. If not, they'll enjoy what they're doing.
As a Dad, it's fun to go watch them play and to see the audience respond.
I went upstairs and pulled BP away from the piano where he was singing and playing and we listened to EF on youtube. BP loves it, I think I am about where you are on it - great music, but screaming is an aquired sound. We played it over again.
Was RUSH the 80s band where some/most/all of the members had music degrees and some maybe even had a Phd in music?Quote:

I'll send (or hand them to you when I'm in S'port) a CD of what they've already recorded (6 songs at an intermediate sudio). These next 2 are being done at a pro studio.Quote:

That gives a little insight into how Scholz was able to make an electric guitar do things nobody else had even considered possible. that is what we listened to the night of the infamouse carjacking. you were pretty darn bold.
