She might be. I've printed both of your messages so she'll see them on the printer in her room and check into it. She's been going to the library a lot lately and getting CD's of different kinds of music. Really into Swing/Big-Band these days.
Though I like lots of different music, I don't have a lot of listening time these days, so Geddy Lee's the bassist I hear the most. Many's the evening I'm down in the workshop with the iPod plugged into the PA system, the bass equalized out, and I'm providing the bass lines through a pretty stout Crate system.
A system that came in handy the other day. There's land across the street from me for sale. The neighbor on the other side of the piece of property wants to avoid having a neighbor just as much as I do, so (Dave can back me up on this), I called my daughter and told her to be a bad, noisy neighbor and I rushed home to do the same.
When I got home, she was outside playing her trumpet. Loudly and badly.
I plugged the iPod into the PA system of the workshop, then hooked the PA up to my bass rig and queued up the shrillest Rush songs I could find. The neighbor who'd called me pulled into the workshop just as the music was starting and immediately pulled back out. While laughing out loud.
We're talking LOUD. My ears can take a lot, but I was in a hurry to get out of the building myself.
Then, I had fun being the guy you don't want to buy land across the street from to build a house to enjoy the quiet of the country. My daughter traded her trumpet for her 22 and I brought out my 22 and my 20-gauge and we shot at various targets around the pond closest to the road.
If the racecar were running (no battery and no brakes), I'd have fired it up. Straight exhaust. Wonderfully loud.
I had to settle for driving the Mustang up and down the gravel road sideways.
There isn't a "Sold" sign on the property yet.
And the guy could've sold it to me a few years ago when I offered him twice what it was worth so I could not only put my workshop on it, having it closer to the house, but also ensure I wouldn't get neighbors. He turned down my offer, then asked me later if I was still interested, but it was too late as the concrete was done for the workshop.
