My daughter and I doing a “unique” cover of Toxic by Britney Spears

[Fireproof]

My daughter had a 3 hour gig at a coffee shop. She invited me to accompany her for this rendition of Toxic.

Check it out!

That’s so cool!

Awesome to see that type of experience.

 

[TSJMajesty]

Wow! I can't imagine how proud you must be.

Thank you. She’s more talented than I am for sure.

 

[Fireproof]

Thank you. Yes proud dad indeed. She was 18 there. Now she’s 20 in college at Belmont University in Nashville getting a degree in songwriting.

One of these days my girls will be old enough for this kind of fun. For now it's Frozen covers and Christmas songs for grandma

Nice man! I need to work on my daughters to get them involved in music... I mean I'd like for all my piles of gear to stay in the family when I'm gone one day

 

[Fireproof]

Thanks @FAKA! With this one, she pretty much came out of the womb singing lol. Doesn’t play much guitar but does play keyboard, ukulele, and does a lot of creation on the computer.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Great job FP!

 

[DrewJD82]

Too cool, man!!

While I’m never having kids of my own, I could only imagine that it’s one of the greatest things in the world to share/create music with your own children! That’s killer and she’s great!!!

My words exactly!

 

[Fireproof]

Thank you both. Really appreciate you listening and commenting. It is a great joy for sure.

Oh I know it does - in a way. My teenage son plays more instruments than I do now, but I can't cuddle with him anymore, my little girls I'd like to keep in little girl form forever, but with adult music chops!

Children have been the biggest blessing of my life. Can’t begin to explain how much your life is reprioritized for the better.

Yeah, i meant “gets better” in that they fall into their passions and get serious about it, which is really fun to experience. But I DO miss the earlier years. I have 2 college-aged girls and we’ve been through some DRAMA the last several years, lol. I miss those early days where they just wanted to cuddle or would ask me to play a song for them, or ask to strum my guitar.

They build up all this goodwill during their innocence; only to burn it all down in their adolescence. (Boys here.)



Nature’s way of moving the kids out.

Isnt their rejection and despise for us the natural way of saying… dad… I’m becoming adult now. Fuck off…
And… didn’t I do that to my parents? Haha.. I can’t remember…



No, really.. i don’t know. All I know is, one is 12 and he’s preteen acting one day and next day acts like he is 5. The 8 yo is still being the little guy and sneaks into our bed at nights and is always up for some cuddle and hugs.

Those children… it’s a wild ride but it’s freaking great all the way.
