Happy Father's Day
Since I'm gonna be busy this weekend, thought I'd beat y'all to the punch and wish all the Pappa's in Fretland a Happy Father's Day!
We're opening for the Poverty Plainsmen tomorrow night (first real big gig opening for "real", "professional" musicians) and I'm pretty stoked about that.
My dear wife is catering for various tournaments all weekend (started yesterday actually). Won't be seeing much of her, what with the 16 hr days she's putting in - so as of Saturday it's just me and the girls
My own Dad passed away last spring. He was/is my biggest musical influence and inspiration and I'm missing him lots right now. He wasn't able to get out to hear my band when we first got together - that would have been cool after all the gigs we did together back in "the day". Would have been a "passing the torch" kinda thing I guess. Oh well, I'm thinking of him lots between the big gig and the big weekend. I just hope I can be 1/2 the Dad to my girls that he was to me and my sister.
Love ya Dad!

Marty DiBergi: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."

Very nicely said. My Dad is also a big influence on me musically, though he does not play guitar, and in a lot of other ways too. Since taking up guitar, it has been fun to compare musical thoughts with him. He is a good sax player and has a great ear. On the other end, I am really enjoying the interest my kids show in my guitar, and with my oldest, his guitar. I am sure you are a great Dad, Trev and that your Dad smiles down at what you are doing based on his legacy. Thanks for the good Father's day thoughts. Happy Father's day to you and to the other fret fathers out there.
