Rockin' out

Rock Band. Do you know it? Do you love it?


I got my first taste of Rock Band on Christmas Day. My cousin Haley got it for one of her children as a gift, and the rest of the family certainly reaped the game-playing benefits! We had so much fun. I am a true music lover, and have played guitar hero many times--but this game takes it one step higher and adds drums (much harder than it may first appear!) and a microphone to sing along.


I'm officially addicted. Well, as addicted as you can be to something you don't have.


And, by the way, I refuse to personally own any games of this nature....'cause I've just got too many other things to do. I know that I would possibly never get anything done with this game under my roof. I can barely pass my piano without sitting down to play "just one song" and ending up being there for 20 minutes!


Our band throughout the day consisted of:

Cameron--he didn't much care for the song of choice at this moment
Cameron was on lead vocals (singing, most of the time, Go, Tell it on the Mountain), Daddy was on guitar and Mommy and E were on drums

Haley and Colin took over on drums for a while

It's not pretty....but I'm posting it anyway. Not my finest hour, but....

I even tried to sing and play guitar all at once. I was barely successful, at best.

"What, Mommy? What? Oh, no, no....I did most certainly NOT just steal this microphone out of Colin's hand!"

Colin definitely enjoys the guitar the best.

I am going to have to start that child on some real lessons!

Switcharoo--Jason now on vocals. (I must say.....it was somewhat difficult to concentrate on drums through my laughter....) Seriously, Jason-- it was the best version of "Wanted: Dead or Alive" I've ever heard. Really.

What you don't see is Jason singing.

What you do see is Haley and Shane trying to play through Jason's singing!

Concentrate.....concentrate.....

I can't wait until New Year's Eve--our friends who just happen to own Rock Band and Guitar Hero and are going to bring it are going to come over and we're going to have a great time JAMMING OUT all night just sitting around and talking--whoo hoooo!
