SRV and Hendrix it must be Friday

[TEB]

This morning listening to our one son playing. I turned the news off and just went and sat on the back porch enjoying what I was hearing. I said to my wife over coffee it’s ninth grade Friday first class of the day guitar class. He is warming up practicing his chops, what I gather is guitar class has turned into a guitar slinging highlander there can only be one. As the competition is many with these talented young players trying to outdo each other.

Today he is gonna represent SRV and cold shot. Why the pressure is great in this battle that last night he asked if he could take the Greco strat it is a tone beast a Greco Japan strat se-800. I bought it off another soldier in west Germany 1985 75$ He needed beer money for the weekend.

I told him yes my child you may take the Greco as your sword in this fight why dad is down with trying to outgun anyone ,we kind of learned something like that in osut infantry training at benning. I think it’s been 39 years kid you know memories kind of hazy and dad used to drink. This is serious I told my wife this morning, he packed the guitar up in a tweed case. He is not messing around I told my wife he’s packing a tone beast our warrior monk . Carrying a tweed holster as they were getting on the school bus.

2. Great post, nice to hear that you're passing down some heritage

Particularly interesting as I'm sitting across the street from the Airborne School jump towers and we're finishing up projects to improve the ranges to support extending the Infantry OSUT to 22 weeks in the next FY.
