Who is in the center picture of the "A Look At Gear Fest '08" but our very own Corey Witt, a "keenly skilled manufacturer representative (who) showed off (his) chops on guitar..." Nice.

Yes she does. But her dance repertoire is so much deeper than mine. I have the gaspedal foot and the "who farted?" face. She has dozens of stances and faces. Most of which are borrowed from Beyonce' and Iggy Pop. Actually, yes. Yes she does. But her dance repertoire is so much deeper than mine. I have the gaspedal foot and the “who farted?” face.

Both of the boys are having me teach them Crazy Train in sections. We broke the song up into 6 parts and they learn a couple of bars at a time. They're like little birds in the a nest yelping for me to teach them the next part. Once I do, they scatter off around the house with my guitars in hand so they can practice the next section. Even Elie borrowed Toby's 3/4-size strat so she could start with part one. The thing I love most is to see the personalities come flying out. I teach them all at once. Toby has the part under his fingers almost immediately, plays it a few times, then kinda loses steam- because in his mind, he can play it. Nolie needs me to show him multiple times, then come around the guitar and "play" the part from his perspective until he finally has enough concrete instruction to go on. Then he'll go practice for 90 minutes until it sounds like Randy Rhoads. Ellie stands in front of the full-length mirror and watches herself hold and strum the guitar. For her, guitar playing is less sonic and more visual. I see little pieces of my own guitar personality in all three. you have no idea.

Yup, after 15 years of self-taught guitar playing, 8 year-old Toby is better than I am. Sometimes, I mask my jealousy and rage with cynicism. And dick and fart jokes. ("Franks and beans!!!!") You see, I'm not sure if Sara will even allow me to contribute to our (non-existent, yet, or forever) future children's education. She can teach them about spirituality, physical and mental health, balance and security. I can teach them how to open beer bottles with a cigarette lighter, how to drag your knee on a motorcycle, and the opening solo from Metallica's "Sanitarium". Yeah, our kids are gonna be well-rounded, for sure. I think you’ll all realize just how sarcastic and silly I was being, when you know that I can’t play the intro to Crazy Train.
