That’s a great story, thanx for telling it.  I watched the documentary as well…and just let it happen.  Had a different (…but parallel probably) cathartic sensation.  Saw more that although things have not really changed as far as man’s inhumanity to man, they certainly have changed in the room man has to move about and make his mistakes while coming to terms with his environment.  Writing guitar-driven ditties & having an all-round music related household since our sons were brand new has provided us with an added middle ground connective tissue beyond that of family, reading, writing, arithmetic & athletics.  & just that hair more connectivity between us and them have strengthened our ability to redirect their better energies in times of adolescent crisis.  

Music is a perfect blessing, undeniably.

Thanx for your best efforts…out there on the job.  I’ve hammered some police work herein on the board, …but only the revenues related tasks…NEVER that of the ladies and gents with the paladin bent…risking each & every day going into scenarios most

of us are glad to avoid on a daily basis but can on rare occasion rise to be of service. 

Just a thought, EEE:  The Hohner Marine Band Blues Harp.  Cheap, easy to tote around and accessible for those rare opportunities to give it a whirl and try to make enjoyable sounds on.  Just a couple keys for starters:  maybe C & A…& fifty or so occasional practice hours from now…& you’ll be bending the blues and pissing off your brothers-

in-arms whenever the urge is there.  hehe

Kind Regards,
