Rockin' with some Rockband

I wish you could have been at my house to see all of this go down live. My brother and his girlfriend, Jesi, came to visit us this past weekend and with them, they brought Rockband for the XBox 360. Never having played, I didn't know what to expect...but quickly realized the seriousness of this event as they brought in a drumset, two guitars and a microphone.

I don't sing. I'll say it again. I do not sing. I can't carry a tune. In fact, I can recall many times that Riley (in her early years) asked me specifically to stop singing. So, to save everyone the headache, I just don't do it. Sometimes, you'll hear me do the background singing for some random songs, but it's rare. Trust me, I'm saving YOU from the horror.

But, Jesi and Ryan can both sing -- so they did! Ronan hit the drums and Mike, well...he was oh-so-serious playing the guitar. Talk about being in a zone. You would have thought he was trying out for a part in a band. I don't fault him at all...in fact, I was highly entertained during the whole thing and got to bang on the drums for a few songs myself...which I am convinced, is my calling.
Ronan was all about the drums and Riley "strummed" on the guitar with Jesi most of the time...

We only played for about an hour, but it was some great entertainment...I'm thinking about starting up my own band here sometime!!! (I won't sing...I'll just fight with Ronan about whose turn it is to play the drums.)
