Thanks, John. Actually, my grandson will be joining the group as drummer the first of the year. That will be a hoot. My other son runs our audio operation...setting up for us and me individually, handling our rental systems and working as announcer and DJ.

I'm really grateful...

Actually, my oldest boy works with me at the company, so we generally play every day. Sometimes he plays a Zeta upright, sometimes a fretless bass, sometimes a 6 string.

Drums for my grandson are set-up in the back. Logan (my son) and Del sometimes work together on section riffs. One combo is Goden nylon, Goden fretless acoustic and percussion. One is XB-2 with motion sound, full drum trap and 6 string bass. that's where the C-1 Nord will come in.

Lot's of fun for the "old man"!

Our daughter took piano lessons for a while, and our son played bass ... He actually played a couple of gigs with me when he was in high school ...

My oldest son plays drums and played for me in various praise bands. My youngest son plays tenor sax in the Baltimore Marching Ravens band.

Ciao,

Joe

Tried to introduce my 9 year old twin grandsons to the accordion. They didn't come beack to visit me for a month!!

Seriously, give your kids easy access to your instruments, with in reason, and if their inclined they will take it up on their own, then lessons and tutoring can be discussed.

You're right1 Give the kids access to the instruments. Then, if an interest develops naturally, do the lesson thing.

Good advice!
