Lets hear it for the greatest guitarist no one’s ever heard.

John wanted to drop grade 11 guitar for gym. Because he’s a procrastinator, like his old man, he missed the submission date. I asked John, it’s an easy credit, why? Hey, isn’t that what high school is all about, an easy credit. John scored 100% on his first two tests but the songs are getting tougher. He had his third test today but he’s out now with his mom, so I haven’t heard how he did yet. On his birthday I asked him to bring his acoustic to Theresa’s and practise his song for everyone but… Say’s he gets nervous when he takes the tests at school and his fingers feel sweaty on the strings and he shakes. Gets that from his old man too, I was shaking when I had to show my second 4 of kind at Rama. Believe it or not I flopped both of them, which is a whole other blog that I once thought to write, but I digress. The guitar teacher is so impressed he asked John if he takes grade 12 guitar would he be interested in working as a TA for grade 11 students and earn a credit. Because isn’t that what high school is all about, those easy credits.

Anyway gotta sink full of dishes!! Sucks when John has money after his birthday because I’m doing most of the cleaning around here lately. It’s also Wednesday that means laundry night. Because it was crowded and I’m getting that big phat cheque, let chop suet do my laundry.

Congratulations to the 'secret' guitar player in the family. I don't think any of us has heard him play. It would be nice. Hey John, how about making it a Christmas present for the whole family.....plan one song. to play for us. It won't have to be Neil Young...but Uncle Owen would like that

If you play Neil Young you suck.

I have heard you play a little bit of Greenday and stuff but would like to hear a whole song.
