The Blank Pages

My family has a new Family Time activity. We love Rock Band. If any one reading this has not tried it, I am telling you, you need to try it. It is so much freakin fun. It comes with a Microphone ( which doubles as the tamborine), drums, and a guitar. If you get an extra guitar, you have a bass guitar. We gave it to the kids for Christmas. My husband said after watching the kids for a few songs, "let me try". He was hooked. I kid you not, they all played Rock Band for 8 hours straight Christmas Day. Grammy and Poppy even got in on the action. I usually just watch. I only sing for the band when there is no other alternative.

They, have gotten more serious now. See, as you play songs and do well, you get scored in Stars on your performances. If you do well it opens up more venues and you get more gigs to play like a real band. Are you following all that? They all tend to practice alone sometimes between band sessions. I do have to say it is quite amusing to come down stairs at 1am and find my husband in the dark, in his boxers, playing a toy guitar. "what are you doing" I ask. "Practicing, I just need to be able to 4 star this song" he answers.

I am just glad they all have an activity they can do together and have fun. Let me know if you would like to swing by one night and catch The Blank Pages in action. Its a sight to behold.
