Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Oh my GOD I can so relate SP. Music is so important to me I just stay up later so I can get more done. We have 3 teenagers at home my wife works full time and so do I with overtime and I am playing in 2 bands right now. It is all about getting organized and being efficient with your time (I'm sure you know that though) I work with Engineers all day and have learned a lot from them about being organized.

Oh how I look foward to the days when I can just come home from work and play my guitar until bedtime!

I know how you feel SP our 3 teens have been driving me bonkers, I get up for work at 5:00am and they are still up. The older ones are smoking the left and right handed cigarettes. They won't stay at home they have girlfriend problems, caused one to punch a hole in the wall, I told him your going to learn how to fix sheetrock he said good then I can fix the other hole I punched in my room (sigh!) I took my youngest 16yr. old to the courthouse yesterday after work to get his court date set (disturbing the peace, fighting) that ticket is going to cost me $212.50 plus the surgeries and medical bills so far $80,000 (sigh!) does that make you feel any better LMAO! School starts in a couple of weeks down here and I can't wait! This has been one of the roughest summers I have had and I have already raised 2 boys that are now 28 and 30.

I had a pair of headphones I paid $200.00 for at GC in 1999 I rescently blew one of the drivers from repeatedly dropping them over the years! I went to the local Wal-mart (mullet and all) and picked up a pair of sony headphones for $20.00 I can't really tell much dif. these have an adaptor that has 1/4" to 1/8" so I can unplug from my mixer and plug into my MP3 and listen to music when I get sick of the teenager problems and find the Bottle! LOL

Life is very fast paced for me (and most people); between work, keeping up two houses, going to concerts and shows and spending time with the family there's not a lot of time left over. You have to be well-organized to get it all done.

I know this isn't the case, but it almost sounds like you have a couple of wives. LOL

That is interesting in of itself !

Har har, I'd have no time or energy for two wives, something would have to go and it ain't going to be my guitar!

It'd be either bliss or hell and nothing in between !

My son & grandson will be moving back in with us soon. On this level, I'm dreading it.

It'd be nice to see Jace everyday again, though. I miss the lil tykus!

ouch!
