Sitting in on rehearsal today with the ladies son and father

[TEB]

They are a trio but today We will be sitting in with them. And she teaches our son on guitar as she graduated from string program from college. As they want to fill out the sound on several originals that they been tossing out at the brew pub. My motto have tokai Les Paul reborn will travel. Today they will be recording originals on lap top way over my head modern technology and somehow our son and our guitars will be recorded onto lap top they want to send these recordings to a producer. Now our thirteen year old is up to speed on this modern technology as he and dad have been jamming to these ladies songs.

As I sit here and drink coffee I am thinking back to when I was young maybe our sons age. And my one brother and I would record our originals on a cassette recorder. We had dreams we were going to be the Appalachian coal field blues answer to music. We had visions of touring the world taking our music to the people. I ended up being a husband a father a union truck driver I smile as I sit and think of those moments of our youth.

2. We thought we would be famous

My brother and I we would record on this cassette recorder. Throwing down in our bedroom hot blues turn around we had plans MLAA that one day ZZ Top would be on tour with us. Two scrawny white boys who thought we would be big like Hendrix who we loved. Why we even had plans to have female back up singers, in our youth we scared our mother with our originals that’s not about weed is it boys no mom. Mom hollers upstairs then why are you singing about Colombian gold mom it’s just a song. Then she would tell our father you better talk to them.
