Rock Band

 This past Sunday, I went to my parents house for a family dinner and had more fun there than I’ve had in a while. We had steaks on the grill and lots of good food as usual. What set this day apart was that first, my cousin Casey was in town visiting. Second my brother, Jimmy brought over his Playstation 3 and Rock Band. Of course he brought all the goodies that came with it.

Never in a million years did I think that at age 32 I would be playing video games with my 50 year old dad. It was a blast! Everyone joined in! All in all the age range playing was from 7 to 50. The whole room was familiar with just about every song on the game and we all took turns on different instruments. My favorite song in terms of fun factor was a well done cover of “Tom Sawyer” as made famous by Rush. We played together for at least 4 hours and probably would have gone longer but it was getting late.

Playing Rock Band alone probably wouldn’t be half as fun alone, but it’s great with a group of friends and family.
