A Chip Off The Old Block

My son you could say is a bit of a “chip off the old block”.   He has watched me play acoustic guitar and mandolin for many years.  We had bought him kids electric guitar when he was five and basically he wore the thing out.   He has been pretty much a fast learner and now he wants to play both acoustic and electric guitar and has asked us if we could get him both for his upcoming birthday that will not only be a birthday present but a Christmas present as well!  Of course he knows that by the time Christmas rolls around we will get him some Christmas gifts!   My son has been playing in a band and believes that music will be his life.  We however want him to also get an education

My wife is very supportive but can also be more practical than me because I too love guitar and understand getting lost in the passion for it.  She is the emotional gatekeeper in our family and she seems to help our family create balance.  She wants our son to own a cool guitar or guitars as long as he lives a balanced life and is happy.  I can’t  argue with that and in the long run our son can’t either!
