In which I fair bust with pride
So as you know, my little fellas are both guitar crazy. English Towers rocks day and night to the sound of their beloved Fenders (delivered at great expense by a severely financially depleted Father Christmas), mighty vocals, severe reverb and all sorts of foot pedal trickery. The summer concert at school holds much excitement, and both of them got a spot on the playlist this year.
Firstly, then, for your delectation, is #1 singing Green Day’s ‘Good Riddance’ (Time of Your Life) on his mate’s beautiful acoustic.
And not to be outdone, his little bro’ (with his mate on the drums) does ‘Wipeout’:
And this is ‘Back in Black’ with his guitar teacher helping. Lots of tricky finger stuff here:
Oh, and this is #1 and his mate on the bass doing Green Day’s ‘When I Come Around’. That’s it now, I’ll stop crowing. I promise.
Just listen to the applause afterwards. I nearly spontaneously combusted with pride. My rockin’ babies, eh?
It’s so lovely to hear the applause. Makes your heart proud, doesn’t it?
Tara: Thanks. They’ll be delighted that people actually got to watch them. I thought long and hard about posting these vids but they’re far enough away that you can’t really see their faces so I think it’s okay. And you’re right, we’ll be dining out on this one in DC in years to come. LOL!! x

Alg: Thought you’d like that. ‘Twas very good. x
5h4m: Well, we all like Green Day. Their Uncle Alg and I both like quite heavy stuff, and Hubby’s a good guitarist so he encourages that side of it.
Mary: Aw thanks x
Jeannette: Hi! Hope things are good with you in bonnie Scotland. Thanks, I’ll pass that on to the boys, they’ll be delighted x
Thanks Heth – shame me Ma wasn’t there to see it. Next time, maybe! x

Moon: Now you’ve done it. Now I’ve been badgered with ‘when are we going to see Uncle Moon in America?’ all the way to school. Still, it beats ‘Mum, can we have a rabbit?’ I guess x
Tracey: Welcome to you too. Ooh, all these new faces – very pleasing. Shall be popping in to your gaff shortly. Oh and thanks x
what kinda of ‘rabbit’ are we talking about …….. ?????
also, what the record number of replies/comments you have had ?
Moon: Steady – the furry kind. Erm, hang on, I’ll go and look…
