Background to conversation: Dave has been guitar shopping for several weeks now (he's got an itch and the only thing that can scratch it is a shiny new guitar). The whole kit and caboodle went one evening on his quest and walked out with not a guitar but a free drum kit instead.
Further backstory: A guy at the guitar place noticed how much the kids loved the drums in the percussion room (oh what I wouldn't have given for a handful of Excederin that evening) and he was trying to unload some drums. So now we are the proud owners of a lovingly used drum kit in the basement. Just what every basement needs.
Dave: So what color guitar should I get—a black one or an orange and black one?
Ellie (pensive): Neither. You should get a blue one so you can be part of our blueberry band. We'll play in the basement.
Dave: The Blueberry Band eh?
Ellie: Yeah! Mommy, you can play the pianyo, Jonah can play the xylaphone and Daddy you play the guitar.
Me: Who will sing?
Ellie (thinks a minute): Daddy, because sometimes the guys with the guitars sing.
Sounds like we need ourselves some tee-shirts printed. Our tour schedule soon to follow.

So,what kind of music do you play :)
I was waiting for this post! We are totally groupies already! Blueberry Band ROCKS!!!
There's some tension in the group when it comes to what type of music we want to create. Dave is going for a BRMC or Kings of Leon vibe. Ellie is angling for a little Dan Zanes action and Jonah? Well he'll only rock out the theme to Thomas on the xylophone.
....We're in negotiations regarding a new xylophonist.
got my hands on a rehearsal bootleg - awesome stuff...
You write very well.
