The Song Game (part 2)

[cowboyec]

So I have to tell a story to cowboyec. As you probably figured out, I'm primarily a 60s/70s rock music fan. Appreciated Elvis but did not play him around the house.

When my son was 3 or 4 years old he asked for an Elvis cd. To this day we don't know how he discovered Elvis but for the next few Christmas holidays, he got an Elvis cd. He went to a unique Charter School where kids started presenting in front of the classroom in preschool. In his 2nd grade presentation, he dressed up as Elvis with slicked back hair, a guitar, and even had the "snarl". He got an "A" for his efforts. He now plays guitar and sings. Crazy how music influences one's life.

AMEN.
AWESOME story.
THANK YOU

PS...your son has GREAT taste.
