kansas

Am playing with a group doing a conference and one of the songs we are doing is "wayward son" by kansas. Kerry Levgrin is a neat guitarist. The solos and structure of this song are very well crafted. Got the first of 4 solos in and a bridge run learned yesterday. Plan to learn the second one tonight. Figured out the best way: Audacity has the ability to solo a solo down without changing pitch so you can play it and hear what is going on.

On another note: found a neat mod to do to my 18 watt...a power reduction switch. Should help me drop the power down to like 9, then 4 watts. Much better for practice although 4 watts is still pretty loud. Those who say no have never spent any time with my 1.5 watt Firefly..it will make your ears ring.

Labor day weekend

Labor day weekend was fun. Took the wife and kids to the Bay Point Marriott in Panama City Fl.
Much fun and food was had by all. Wife did the spa thingy. I got her an appointment and she had a wonderful time.
It's not about the trip...it's all about them. I love my family. I am proud of my wife and kids. I don't know how I could go on without them and being able to spend a weekend away was very rewarding.
I just want my wife to know she is the love of my life and means everything to me. Love you honey!
We have been married 13 wonderful years and I look forward to many more.
I love my kids too...of course, but I know that without us loving each other and making the commitment to each other our kids would be missing something that they truly need...a family.
I see so many others struggling to stay together. I see what a busted marriage, affairs, distrust and lying can do to kids and a marriage. I pray that the good Lord will hold us and keep us from ever giving up on each other, or giving in to this world.
I love you Di and don't you ever forget it.
