When the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

childrens drum sets christopherI have been playing the drums in a popular local band for years.  I started playing in high school when my buddies and myself had stars in my eyes convinced we would make it BIG one day.  But graduating from high school, going to community college, getting married and having kids seemed to somehow wipe out that dream as the years rolled on.  But I am fortunate enough in my own life to have established a pretty decent career working in landscape.  Sometimes sales drop off a bit in the summer but playing in the band helps our family get through the rough times.  My band mates and I have known each other for years and we have a good local fan base.

My son Christopher has been the “apple of my eye” for years and one could look at the both of and definitely conclude that the “apple does not fall far from the tree”.  Christopher, (who is now eight years old) has been pretending to “play” the drums for the past many years and we have loved wathcing him do this!  My wife Cindy is sure that Chris will soon follow in my footsteps and begin playing the drums in a band.  Cindy and I both hope to expose Chris to many different types of music.  We have just purchased a childrens drum set as a Christmas gift for Christopher.  We saw so many GREAT looking childrens drum sets that it was hard to decide on which one we wanted.  They are so cool looking and now I wish I could have had one when I was his age!  Now we will see just how much Cindy will love the noise level in our house!
