Just got back from OKC..... went to see Metallica play there.....watched my ten year old sing along to every tune on the set, the same tunes I banged my head to when I was a kid....My oldest son has gotten his learners permit, and offered to help on the drive home, but I wanted to be the dad and let the family sleep while I drove and listened to early George Jones........A childhood fantasy of mine was realized this evening as well, I got to see my art on a major rock bands' tour shirt. I just stood by the merchandise booths watching kids by shirts the way I used to years ago...... that was a good feeling..........I found myself stuck between ages when I caught a whiff of the old familiar "smoke' smell when the lights went down.....I remembered what we did when we went to concerts back then but at the same time I wanted to shield my children from that very same smell........So I landed in the middle of it all somewhere. I just let things be and started bangin my head and yelled to the band with my kids. For Whom the Bell Tolls, time marches on............

"I found myself stuck between ages"

Man, I know how you feel, that is a 'learning curve' I never expected, and now, I seem to be having that emotion alot.....life is for real.

Who ever thought that you'd be rocking to the same tune as your kids......

Would love to see the artwork,

Cheers,
