I sure love the sound of guitar in my home. It reminds me of my youth and it is such a soothing instrument to have playing constantly, not like drums or clarinet.
I have the guitar playing in my home everyday. My son holds his arms around his guitar more than he does his girlfriend and I think I secretly like that. As soon as he walks in the door from school he holds his guitar. As soon as he wakes up on the weekends, he holds his guitar. He loves his guitar and I think he knows that I love it too. Wherever I am in the home, doing laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, cooking, he finds me and plays. I am his biggest fan.
So for over a year now he has been playing songs by a band that I have really enjoyed. I have gotten to know all the lyrics to their songs and I sing while he plays. Now, some of you may be thinking, "how corny" is your kid a nerd. Maybe!
Anyway. This week my son said to me: "Mom, we have to get tickets to the concert, they are coming to Chicago in June." Am I dreaming, or did my 17 year old son just invite his mother to a concert. Yes, he did. We bought tickets this morning to see "DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE" and I can't wait. However, he will not be going with me unless he continues to take out the garbage, cut the grass and pick up his room. I am STILL his mother. Concert or no concert.

I love Death Cab for Cutie! Can I come? Haha . . . !
"Death Cab For Cutie"? That's a band name? Whatever happened to the good old days when bands had names that made sense, like "Strawberry Alarm Clock"? :)
Wow! Going to a concert with your son! Downtown, in Grant Park, on a summers eve should be fun.
I saw them last year in Chicago. Great music. I have many of their albums and a new one drops this year I believe. The lead singer also has a solo effort under the name Postal Service (album title: Give Up). Great electric album.
