Rock Band…a new family past time!

It all started back at Christmas time. My Mom got “Lego Rock Band” for Jamahl as one of his gifts. At the time, she was told that you could play the game even if you didn’t have any of the instruments. (In case you are not a family who spends their time rocking, this information was incorrect) Thus, I have spent these last several months searching for instruments, which proved to be impossible. There evidently is a shortage of “Rock Band” instruments for the Wii. If you have any of the other gaming systems, it is not a problem, but the Wii instruments continue to be elusive, at least in Michigan, the surrounding states, and on-line. Anyhow, last week while at Meijer with Roo and my Mom, we actually came across the entire set…and better yet, it was on sale!!! WE HIT THE “Rock Band” JACKPOT!!!! It has been so much fun! For not quite a week now, we have all taken our turn rockin’ out to all sorts of different music. It brings out a different side of all of us. Who knew my brother missed his calling as a drummer???? Or that quiet, laid back Paul would love jammin’ on the guitar? Jamahl likes to take a turn at all of the instruments, but if you ask me he is best doing vocals…especially to the songs “Ghostbusters”, and “Eye of the Tiger”! Our new family motto: The Family that Rocks together, stays together! Rock On!!!
