OMG, OMG, OMG,
1/24/08 was a day I'll never forget!
About 3 weeks ago (in a chat with my son) told me 4 of his freinds founded a band, he's 15 like I was when I did the same thing. I said ok cool, what do you do? "I'm lead vocals", ok do you need a mike or amp or anything? He said no I was invited in for my singing ability (word got around i guess) and that they hadd all the equipment they needed.
BTW my first gig was 1/24/08 at his High schools preformance hall in a talent show among atleast 15 other talents.
I was front row, i was there an hour early, I had no idea what his bands influences was, but to me it didn't matter he is my youngest son (like father like son,(this part at the end)),
I think my face was blue from holding my breathe while the anouncer person said his stuff. The curtain open and my son appeared w/mike in hand and said "IS EVERYBODY READY TO ROCK?" a wash came over me blue to purple maybe, the drummer tap his sticks together and they began to play, he swung he tether his mike until he sang, but unfortunately wa epically drowned out by the others amps, yet as a band they played as a band, the bands that followed were so called more talented as the evening progressed, on this note the later bands had equipment that rivaled professional bands (as expected in that neighborhood) but each band member of each group particully guitarists and bassists tried to out do each other in this "Talent Show" which really other than being setup for a much bigger venue(volume)(sound blur) the battle of the band compditors lost horribly due to tring to overshawdow each other with thier own band, And JP and his Corporate Casualties reiged far above them regardless of equipment(and unknown status)
Proud tears fell from my eyes that night and a new goal to achieve, life is amazing!!
