Topic: Beach jam with my son...

I took my eldest son, who is 11 years old, down to the beach this afternoon as I wanted to get away from a very stressful work week.  We took our acoustic guitars down there to play in the sunshine.

I ended up recording this one take of the two of us jamming one of my wife's favourite ambient pieces called 'Buddha Garden Flowering'.

I did the first intro passage whilst he played the rhythm, then we switched to me playing rhythm while he improvised over the top.  One take.  What fun.

It was a really special 'father and son' moment that will be with me forever!

Re: Beach jam with my son...

I'll say.  Stress reduction with muchlove & muchmusic.  Wow.  That's beats hell outa sitting in front of the telly or at the pub drinking yourself to death trying to unwind.  The folks who know me well  are not surprised that I am an ardent, dedicated DAD.   cool

Those who only know me slightly seem stunned when they find out.  tongue  Your wife must be tickled to death.  Tis good.

MuchLove

Very nice Devan. Thank you for sharing.

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?
