Happy New Year


My wife and I actually went to a New Year's Eve Party. Neither of us could remember the last time we went to an all adult party. We had a good time even though they were my wife's co-workers. We ate, we drank and we played Rock Band. It was all fun that is until I had to sing. The song was Roxanne by the Police. You make points by singing the words at the right time with right inflection but not necessarily the right tone. Anyone who knows me knows I have a 3 or 4 note range in a totally unknown register. It was terrible and even the game thought so as it shut us down when we had done only about 60% of the song. 

The next assignment I got was the bass guitar. With that I had a better time and score. At least I could hit the notes at the right time. Combinations if simple were doable but fancy fret work was beyond me. Then I played the drums. I was so bad. I got to laughing so hard I fell off the chair. I'm no Ringo Starr but it was fun. I really need to take some lessons from my grandson. At least Carter has rhythm and the needed technique to be a drummer. But it was fun and now Carol thinks we should get the game and have some more fun.... Roxxxxxxanne   You don't have to put on that Red dress.........Roxxxxxxanne.. I think I can do with just a little more practice.
