Musical Chairs - December 29, 2011

Maic (or Mike), my awesome guitar teacher, also teaches the children of my friends, Chip and Debby.  He also used to teach my son, Jake, before Jake became a bass player.  Davis and Madison have been at it for a bit longer than I have and have made impressive progress.   This combined with Davis' voice makes them a welcome addition to any party.   So -- this being the holiday season, we decided to have a thank you Maic dinner.  We all got together at our house this week to eat and play.  My old friends Charley and Heather along with their son, Merle, were in town from Seattle and stopped by for a bit.  Charley is a professional keyboard player so naturally we enlisted him to join in.   We have enough guitars and other assorted instruments at the house that I do believe that everyone was given something to play.  It's so fun to make noise with friends.  It inspires me to expand my repertoire of songs to more than the three I keep going back to.  And, yes, Eline - we did play Poncho and Lefty.  xo

This is our good dog, not to be confused with our bad dog.
