Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds

We finally got Beatles Rockband for Christmas, and why we waited I don't really know.

My kids are now familiar with some awesome CLASSIC rock literature, and that brings a tear to my eye.  (My teen years were spent with the Beatles, birkenstocks and all....)

As a special note, Josh, as a school officer, entertained the entire junior high student body with "Yellow Submarine" during a lull at a school assembly... thank you Rockband.

SO.

I had a thought.  Gather up my professional musician friends and have a rockband party, and see if their mad skills on the violin give them any advantage.  We could smoke the levels (so to speak).

 Prego Kiersten, rockin the drums
I was worried it would put her into labor


Sarah Jane, guitar extraordinaire
I wanted her to get crazy jumping off furniture but she's too refined for that


I had to be the vocalist since I knew the words
I pretty much scored 100%, not to brag


My basement was turned into a psychedelic sub woofin par-tay minus the daisies.
Wish I had a disco ball.  Next party.

Gotta love musicians and their tenacious drive when challenged.  


I swear, the auditions for the orchestra should include a sight reading test using this game.  Maybe even for the singers, too.  I'll have to bring it up.

Oh Emily, you are so fun! See that's what I mean by being laid back. I never did such crazy fun things with my kids.

funny! We absolutely need to have a family rock band session! Kim and Rob are totally obsessed with the Beatles and know every freakin song! I just play the drums.
