He's just a singer in a rock 'n roll band

I am back and no two week layoff, though you may wish it had been so. I just had one thought and wanted to mention that the Lad's "graduation" was quite nice. Those grade 6s had their party afterward. All the girls were dolled or tarted up. It was kind of insane.

I do not know much about women, let alone those about to or just hitting puberty, so I am not sure if any of that was normal. All I have to go on was my younger sister and even then I was to into my own shit/life to really take much notice or care. Here, it was in my face.

Apparently, the Lad is the singer in a rock and roll band. He has buddies who play drums, bass and guitar and they needed a singer. The chose the right dude. The Lad could always sing (so says our music producer cousin who has had him record in his studio). I only heard them jam.

The only time they performed for me was when I was picking the Lad up from practice (they were doing it twice a week for a good month there) and I asked them to play for me. They had been working all afternoon so the energy level was low and they were not as tight as it probably was earlier. I took it in that vein.

A couple of the parents, quietly, hung around to see their son and the band. They said it was amazing. The Lad was working the stage and sounded great, apparently. We are going to a performance on Tuesday at another parent's house. I am looking forward to that.

Well, that is it for now, just wanted to rave about the Lad (in case I do not do that enough, I want it in writing, just to show him if need be). Have a good one. Ciao!
