The Bad: So here's how it went down...We filmed those two videos on Monday under the impression that I was going to get a 50 watt amp. Well I did. Problem being I took the amp out of the box and I was excited, I was estatic. I looked over examined all the features, knobs, pedal (yes it came with a pedal to switch it from clean to distored). It was amazing! Then I plugged it in gentling giving it a little volume and stuck the G string to start playing Pigs (Three Different Kinds)...and it buzzed. I took it out of the box and it was blown out. Thank you Musicians Friend and UPS for making sure that my amp was taken care of! Right now I am just trying to decide if I should keep on trying to get a hold of Musicians Friend (every time i call I get a machine saying "All circuits are busy, try again later") or just take it to Richardson's (the music store at Superstition Springs Mall) have them fix it but that would void the warrenty... =( Any suggestions?
The Good: I would like to thank Elise for giving me what is perhapse the best (late) birthday present I ever got: a picture of me and Dad and a key chain of said picture! It came at the perfect time. Folks I have been thinking a lot about my dad lately and it sometimes seems hard for me to remember a whole lot about him... It seems theres so much I don't know. Please everyone who reads this, leave a comment about a memory you have with my dad. Good, Bad, funny, serious, goofy or enlightening; I want to hear it. Just so you all know, you can thank Brooke for getting me to think about him. Without even trying to she got me to talk about him. I realized that I don't really talk about him, but I miss him. I wounder how his influence would have changed me. Would I be more like him? Am I more like him then I realize?

He taught you to sing your first song ever, The Beatles "Love Me Do." Also, He taught you to hit your head in time with the monks in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He loved to laugh like Scooby Doo. He thought it was hilarious to hear you talk about "your people." He liked to shoot cats out of his car window. You already are like him in many ways.
HAHAHAHAHA! OH MAN! how could i forget micheal hitting his head with a book or cutting board along with the monks... oh man that is hilarious!
I'm so glad you liked your belated gift. Sorry it took me so long to get it to you. Your dad was and is awesome. He would have thought it was funny that I said that.
I always felt a very strong connection to your dad. We look a lot alike and in some ways have the same temperment. I don't know why, but I really could never end a conversation with him, even if I wasn't interested in the least in what he was saying. I would just nod and say, "oh", just so that I could hang out w/ him.
I'll share more later, but this is turning into a book.
Your dad was always a protector. I remember always being so excited when he would ome to visit. He is 20 years older than I am and lived in California for a long time but he still always felt like my brother. Your dad was a great dad and loved his kids more than anything. I remember one time when we were taking our Christmas Eve flights. I was flying with your dad (obviously) Kristin and Chris and your dad flew up and then turned off the engine so we were just falling. It scared me so badly that after that I would only fly with the little kids. Your dad could have made a lot of money flying people around to tour the Christmas lights
