rockin with Chuck and Grandpa

One day last week when we were in Madison, our good friend Chuck came over to say hello to everyone and hang out for awhile. Grandpa and Chuck got the guitars out and rocked for awhile, which is always fun for everyone. Will was enchanted - he just sat and watched them play for a long time, sometimes bobbing his head along with the music. We tried to get him to play the drums with them but he was too focused on the guitars. Later, I played some on the piano with them and Will sat on my lap until he got too frustrated that I wouldn't let him climb up on the keyboard to play with his feet. The jam session ended with Will having a breakdown, and needing to be taken upstairs for a nap, when I pulled him away from Grandpa's electric guitar amplifier - he had discovered there were buttons and knobs on it and so was pressing/turning them incessantly like he does. This made the guitar sound pretty unpredictable with the amp being switched on and off over and over, and volume/tone knobs being turned. It was pretty funny for awhile.
