Kid Guitars

Our son has had many and varied interests throughout his life and we have been there and supportive through it all.  He has been a part of the track team, and has been a wrestler for many years.  He has participated in karate and got his black belt last year.  We are pleased with his participation in hobbies throughout his life.  He has been an average student academically.  While he doesn’t excel in school he isn’t failing anything either.  He has the potential do better but homework has never been a top priority, he simply gets by.

Our son has taken a bit of a departure from his usual athletic pursuits.  He has been socializing with a new group of friends who are musicians so I’m not totally surprised to hear this news.  Our son wants to be a drummer in a “yet to be” rock and roll band now being put together by our son and his buddies.  Our son claims that two of his friends already have electric guitars and have been playing for several years now.   I don’t mind him learning to play the drums, but a rock musician, I don’t know?   My husband came home yesterday and says that he spoke with a friend at work who told him of a really good deal on amateur drums at a local music store in our area.  He said he checked out and that it’s too good to pass up.  He wants me to go look at it with him tomorrow.  What does it hurt, if our son wants to play beginner drums as much as he says that I guess I’m game!
