RHOTS (with kids)

23 Aug

The kids and I like to play music in the garage/laundry room. We did this a lot over the summer. One day Devon wrote a song called “I Will Never Stop.” So, I asked her and Holden to play it for me and recorded it on video. Holden played drums while Devon sang.

I asked if I could sing in the band, and Devon shook her head no. But, they did ask me to play drums at one point so Holden could sing backup. He taught me the song, then decided that wasn’t a good idea either. So, they kicked me out of the band. And rightly so. Who wants to be in a band with their mom?

I put together a video for the song, “I Will Never Stop” by Devon and Holden, aka Rock Star Band. I’m pretty sure most parents don’t do a mini-documentary the first time one of their kids writes a song, but that’s how we roll in this household.

    Promise me that you will stay in the neighborhood long enough for Bruce to be able to hold and play an instrument so he can jam with your kids (and so we don’t have to buy a drum kit).

      As soon as Bruce can hold a tambourine, he’s in:)
