 Quote From: lokithor I'm Lokithor, otherwise known as Trace. Nice you have you here. I've seen you on the CE board.
Just deleted a whole bunch of stuff to make you stick around. It was about Tap! Just kidding! Don't get me wrong, I adore her, even though she's cranky.
Anyway guys, just wanted to wish all of you Happy Holidays. Cygne, thanks for the post. Was wondering though, who the hell gave your son that drum set when he was young?
KAK, Tap, Shannon, JP, Sue, Vicki, Neecie, Cathy, Kelly, Battle (oh, and if I've forgotten anyone the sentiment stands true) Happy Holidays to you. I had the opportunity to get a last minute trip to go to Cuba with she of the feather boa on Christmas Eve and passed. Decided it would be preferabale to spend it with my new grandaughter who is almost four weeks old. Silly me. Now begins the legacy. Showering her with too many gifts and a scrapbook of pictures of her family? Or getting a suntan in Cuba. Hell, give me that little girl with the big feet and the dark hair and (maybe) green eyes anytime.
Besides, the sun gives me freckles.
Happy, happy holidays to all of you. And at the risk of sounding trite, may the New Year be wonderful to you all.
Hugs Trace
When my son was 10 I bought him his first acoustic guitar along with guitar lessons. Then he wanted an electric guitar. So I told him he'd have to earn half of it and I would pay for the other half. Then around 14 he started to work part-time for our family owned company and he bought himself a huge set of Marshall speakers & head (amplifier). Started writing his own music. He was also in the school band and learned how to read drum music and play the drums. So one day he decided to go trade his big huge speakers & head (amplifier) in for his first set of drums. I never had anything to do with that. He had many a band practice in my basement with his band. Yes, I had to go for walks sometimes 'cause I thought my head was going to explode, but I kept telling myself "At least I know where he is, he's not getting into trouble". I'm sure that's not what my neighbours were saying though. But they were very patient and tolerant. A few years ago, he decided to take drum lessons from a professional drummer. Last year, he had a custom drum kit made for him by Yamaha. Did not put out a penny towards it. I'd rather he spend his hard earned money on drums than drugs. I think music kept him out of trouble most of the time as a teenager, because sometimes I wondered about some of his friends.
I do go on about my son. Forgive me. That's what mothers do.
