I woke up at 6:30 AM today. After getting Shayla off to school and eating breakfast, I took Brayden upstairs around 8:00 AM for his "second guitar lesson." Today we went over some material on the original G3 CD, the G3 Live in Denver CD, Steve Vai Fire Garden, and Steve Vai Mystery tracks. 1.5 hours later, I think he had had enough because he pooped his pants. lol Later today, after he's had a break, I'm going to sit him in front of the TV and let him watch Stevie Ray Vaughan's Live at the El Mocambo DVD.
In case you are wondering, I want him to be exposed to only the best when it comes to music. High Achievers. Legends. Pretty much everything I hear on the radio today is... garbage. That is why I listen to talk radio and not music on the radio. Plus, I can be informed and learn something about what's going on in the world.
All the music out today, by and large, has no appeal, because it's all so average. Nothing spectacular. This is why I want Brayden to listen to groups like Dream Theather, Rush, Genesis, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, Hendrix, Clapton, Van Halen etc. They are legends and can rock your face off musically and technically. Associate with high achievers, hard workers, masters at their craft. That is an incredibly important aspect to being successful in any endevour one undertakes. I figure there is no better time to start that life lesson, than right now as he enters his 9th day of life.
In other news, I'll tell you what, this whole being off work thing is great. Play guitar for a few hours... surf the net... eat... I don't see why anyone wastes their time working at an office.
Now I'm off to finish editing a wedding reception, then take a nap.

Who says we're working? Maybe we're also surfing the net, reading blogs, listening to podcasts and practicing guitar (just it's an air guitar).
I'm not sure if the kid's got the life... or if you do ;-)
P.S. The pooping of pants was his way of showing you he approved of everything thus far.
