Morgan: Merry Christmas Blog!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Before the day was gone. And give Byrne the chance to craft a really fancy New Years Blog. I spent the holiday at home with the family. My Daughter came home from Rochester Institute of Technology and we caught up with her life. She's studying criminal justice up there and we are real proud of her.

The Boy on the other hand is another story...just kidding. The Boy received Rock Band for his Xbox 360 and we have been rocking out. Boy on guitar the Girl on Drums and me (Dear old Dad) on the microphone. Very addictive game, we had a lot of fun. I scored a 100% on Nirvana's In Bloom. Really difficult to describe how much fun this game is. Here is a video of the boy playing Foo Fighters, Learning to Fly on drums.

Developed by Harmonix, Rock Band is an all-new platform for gamers to experience music, giving players the chance to rock in the shoes of the biggest guitarists, bassists, drummers and singers of all time – as a solo superstar or as part of a hard rocking band.

Rock Band delivers four music games in one – challenging rockers to master lead/bass guitar, drums and vocals or play collectively as a whole band. Built on unprecedented deals with top record labels and music publishers, the music featured in Rock Band spans all genres of rock and includes many master recordings from legendary artists.

The only bad thing is there is no Bryan Adams or Summer of 69. And there is NO Stairway to heaven...So lets not forget to say Feliz Complianos to Jesus Christo!

Speaking of JC, I ran across an interesting artist Mark Lawrence who paints contemporary art...with Bible Verse...don't ask. I thought you might appreciate the art if not the entreprenurial spirit. Amen.
