Ahh, Too Be Young Again
My youngest Grandson Jack just turned 13 today. I gave him my keyboard he played with at a younger age along with a BC Rich Warlock guitar I refurbished. A couple of weeks ago his brother Ryder put up a set of drums I had given to the oldest grandson Reece (grown and gone now). The boys cleaned up their garage and set up the drums. The family came to our house yesterday for Jacks birthday party. The boys were really excited about the instruments I added to their "band". I promised I would teach them as much as I can when I can.
I could have started them earlier a few years ago, but I wanted to wait until they had the urge and wanted to play. Plus, they're more responsible now to take care of the equipment even if it's used. Ryder had taken percussion in band at school this year. Jack is 1 year younger, and they do a lot of things together, sports, etc. Now grandpa gets to put up insulation and paneling, so the neighbors don't mind.
I can't help but remember when I first started playing with my buddies and the great times we had. No need for phones and PS5's, just building on something that's satisfying for the soul.
Cheers,
Duane
