Proud Day
It was Sunday night and all four of us were in the van together. I had insisted that the radio be left on one of my stations - this particular one a classic rock station. Our boys were not thrilled. They prefer rap to our rock.
But then it happened. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" began to play and our boys wanted the radio louder. Then they wanted to sit in the van and listen to the entire song. Knowing how long the entire song is, I told them to turn on the oldest son's radio in his room - I have it set to that station for my own listening purposes. And they did! They came in and listened to the song, discussing the guitar work with fascination.
Now for the "rest of the story." They know this song from a video game called "Guitar Hero." Game Boy has it and he has brought it to our house. I guess I will have to concede that particular game has some merit to it!
Of course, they complained about Boston the other night at dinner. They have not completely seen the light!!

Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Steve Gains. Wow!!! One of the best guitar trios in rock, or were... Only Rossington is alive now.
Hey dare they knock Boston...

Oh, and I know all about the radio in the car. When I was taking your boys and their cousin down to their Grandma's for Thanksgiving, we must've switched back and forth to three different rap stations. I think they knew the words to EVERY song.
Of course I had to go old school on them and tell them how the Sugar Hill Gang, Curtis Blow and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five started it all!
