congrats tom,you know what they say ,is that the reason we take up music is because we were inspired when we were young,so when babysitting you play those lulabies,"another musician is born",mike

Great ! Congradulations Tom .

Congradulations Tom, all the best!
Now your not going to spoil him are you?
It's Great to be a grandaddy!
Nobby

Tom: Congratulations Gramps !
My guess is that, as grandparents this time around, it'll be a lot easier than it was as parents, as you can now have lots of FUN spoiling the tyke and then easily send him to his parents to handle the day to day headaches of child rearing. - Scott

Congratulations!!!

Tom,

Keep him away from Jazz. Raise him to believe that Country Music is the "cats meow". It will go easier for him to find gigs. Get him some cowboy boots and a big cowboy hat.

Make his life easier if you're gonna get him involved in music. OK? Maybe you could get him to take lessons from DonM.

If "you" try to teach him Country, he'll be a laughing stock trying to put all of those IIm7 chords before the V7 chord. And he doesn't need to know any diminished chords. Besides I think there's only 2 or 3 country tunes that use a dim chord and they are very old tunes anyway. He doesn't need to know either one of those 2 or 3 tunes.

I'll be impressed if you can teach him to do the Guitar lick on "Beer For My Horses" exactly like the record. I love that lick. It sounds real simple but try to play it along with the CD. It's a monster. My new ambition in life is to learn this lick.

A granda baby boy would be great. My first wife took all of mine away. Enjoy friend!!

Hey Boo Boo ......
I'm sure you were kidding, but - ever hear of Garth Brooks? He's a "new" country sanger .... (well, not REALLY country, but he's a good actor and a fine ball player I hear)
His tune "Friends in low places (a modest hit ) has a diminished chord right in the begining! The scond chord !Imagine that!
keep layin those bricks and whistlin' Mile Davis tunes ! It's good for the soul!

Boo, go listen to Willie Nelson's "Stardust" album.

DonM, Dave,

All the trash I've been talking and not a comment from either one of you. I Thought you guy's pasted away.

I don't know how to do the smiley face thing.

I like Walking The floor Over You. I do it with a trio jazz style. It gets to kicking.

Was just trying to wake DonM up Dave. I do Frends In Low Places. I do more Country tunes then you guys think.

How do you do the smiley faces. I'm jealous cause I can't do them?
