Submitted by Bill Sue Angel ... on September 3, 2016 - 10:00amYeah, it happened again. Sometimes time just gets away from you, and all the rum decides you're tired and you fall asleep.

Long story, but.............
It's for my second son, Scott, who is an orchestra director at a high school. I started him on keyboard and then he saw me on guitar and wanted to learn. Now, he's played just about every instrument there is. I love to jam with him when he's visiting. Together, we can "bring it". We were in a Christian rock band for about seven years and produced one CD. But, aging is getting old on me and as is always the case, he will be left to carry on. He has two sons.
Yipppee!!!! It was SO fun to see YOUR
answers !!!! That's very cool that you taught yourself guitar!!! I have been "MEANING" to
learn piano since....forever! I love almost all genres of music, (HATE current pop
music---yuck!!) Love Christian rock---My friends and I saw "Skillet' in concert---do you
like them? ...
.....I hope you get some more Cap'n Morgan!!! Ahoy, Mateyy!!
And I love my nicname!!! :-) Maybe we'll start calling him
"Arky" as well as "Meaty" ....hee hee!
