Aspiring Musicians

A very good friend of mine I grew up with, is an aspiring musician, and is brilliant when it comes to tweaking his voice to sound like absolute heaven. When I moved to this town when I about twelve years old, he was the first friend I made that lived right next door. Ever since we have been inseparable.

I even remember the first day we moved into our new home, I turned on the music in the garage and started doing cart wheels in the backyard, while he was jumping up and down on his trampoline in his backyard with a friend. Both of them were about 10 years old and had toy microphones in their hands, something I found later to be his sisters toy microphones. They were both singing and raping while jumping on that trampoline, it was too funny.

We noticed we all loved music, and we all started hanging out and playing together. I have watched him grow from that young boy into the talented man he is today. The last time I saw him was two months ago, before he moved about forty miles away to live with his girlfriend, whom is also a good friend of mine since forever ago. Before he left he invited me to a show his was performing at, and I was ecstatic to see him perform finally after all these years.

He expressed an interest in finding a microphone he could find for an affordable price, so he could practice at home before his show date. I remembered the night before coming across a site that offered just that, so I told him that there were microphones for sale as well as some sweet looking new and used mitchell guitars at M F’s, and to check their site out.

He called me a few days later and told me that not only did her order a microphone but he also ordered lehle amp that he found that he is absolutely thrilled to have now. I’m happy I could help him prepare for such a great event I can see him perform at, and see how he can change the world with his beautiful voice.

His New Scooter!

My next door neighbor looks so spiffy riding up and down his driveway and the sidewalk on his new scooter that he just purchased. This guy is a real character, a good guy and a wonderful neighbor who has been having issues getting around for the past few years, so I’m glad to see him able to get out and about in the nice weather these past couple of days.

A good neighbor is hard to find, I have been blessed with him since I moved into my place, we get along real well and help each other out now and then when needed and able. We have spent many hours sitting outside, either on my porch or his, just chatting away. I love hearing his stories of the “good old days” and he is a good listener, which is hard to find in folks now a days.

My other neighbor is a real pain, but that issue can and will be discussed at a later time…….
