My son Declan plays the drums now. Delcan has a kit of his own our house is filled with the racket of his practice. And I love every minute of it.
He started taking lessons from my friend Kenneth in the Fall. Kenneth also plays in the Restore band. I've dreamed that my kids would love music (check) and that they'd play an instrument of their choosing (check).
Declan and I talk about music all of the time. He's always asking me what are my favorite drummers. Hands down, it's John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. So now we listen to lots of Led Zeppelin together.
Kenneth not only teaches Declan how to play the drums but he inspires him. That's huge. There's only so much I can do as a Dad to inspire my kids. We parents need help from the people around us. I am grateful to Kenneth.
Who are the kids around you that need you to isnpire them?
