WAR PIGLETS

Anyone who knows me, knows I gotta rock. The iPod is full of stuff from AC/DC to Zeppelin, B.B. King to van Zant, Marvin Gaye to . . . he's in a class by himself. If I'm awake, there's a tune floating around my big, empty nugget, and I'm on-stage in a sold-out arena somewhere rocking the mic and melting faces with my axe.

But with me, air guitar and off-key warbling is as far as it goes. Just ask any of my daily groupies.
The LLP has inherited my penchant for performance, but he's doing something about it. He's been whacking the skins since he was eight.This weekend, he and 60 other like-minded future head-bangers rocked the stage at the St. George Church Fair. As venues go, it ain't Madison Square Garden, but the competing noise from the Tilt-O-Whirl aside, it's a great start.All these aspiring musicians owe their start to Baton Rouge Music Studios. A local music school that's thinking out of the box. Lessons just weren't enough for director Doug Gay. He wanted to find a way to give kids a chance to shine and his Young Band Development Program does just that.

I'm gonna shut up now.


If you like that. Check out all the bands on my Youtube Channel.

Black Sabbath at the church fair? Nice. Great song, too. I guess they didn't have to get the set-list approved?

In related news, you should check out Brutal Legend. I downloaded the demo and thought it was pretty funny. I know how you and the STW feel about your kids playing games with excessive cursing, so be aware of that. If the rest of the game is as good as the demo, you'd have a blast watching the kids play it.
