Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I got to bring home my brand new daughter yesterday. I couldn't possibly have had a better Thanksgiving! Her name is Julia and I'm hoping to play my Ovation for her today if I can take my eyes off of her long enough.
Here's some pics:
I'd like to post one of my wife with the baby, but she just had a c-section and would kill me if I posted pictures of her right now, even though she looks awesome. |

| Ah - the blank stare, the goofy facial expressions, the incoherent mumblings. Good job the baby is obviously much more in control of herself than dad is. And SOOOOO cute. Congratulations - I wish we could turn the clock back, sleepless nights or not.
Congratulations to all 3 of you - fantastic news. :D :D |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | Thanks for all of the kind words and well wishes. So far, we're really enjoying being new parents. Who needs to sleep anyway? LOL. Actually, we've been fairly lucky so far. My biggest problem is going to be going back to work the week after next. I'm going to have some serious seperation anxiety. LOL. I played her some soft instrumental fingerstyle stuff on my Legend this morning and got much the same reaction as I get at gigs.........she fell asleep :) The difference is that she didn't down a six pack of Bud Light before donig so. |

Location: New York State | Ahhh she's beautiful! Congratulations to you and your wife.
Keep playing for her...
When i was pregnant i played nearly evey day, with the guitar resting against my belly. I even hosted a weekly songwriter's night right up until a week before he was born, so he listened to a lot of music before he was born. When he was a few days old, he got all in a snit about something or another, and wouldn't stop crying. We tried everything... then i picked up the guitar and started playing it. He stopped immediately.... turning his head toward the sound. From then on, that was the answer to any kind of upset. He's 9 now, and LOVES music. He's just starting with guitar, and sings like an angel.
Again..Congrats on your wonderful news!

So you've seen John play, too, huh?
John...
To all three of you, congrats and best wishes from Jo and I . Lord knows you will neither one of you will sleep again during the night, but it's worth it. Remember, gigs now are your best friend...they GET YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE WHEN THE CRYING BECOMES UNBEARABLE (of course, making the patrons cry when you play isn't really a fair trade off...but what the hey!).
Seriously, here's to the little one. Congrats and good luck. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I went to visit our baby girl at college over Thanksgiving. She tried to get tickets for us to see U of Portland play Notre Dame in soccer. Since I coached and played for 25 years or so, it's as interesting for me as a football game. They sold out in 6 minutes, but my uncle called after we got there and scored 2 tickets 4 rows up at midfield. We had a great time and the next day went and looked at Ovations at Guitar Center. (How's that for bringing this on topic?) Having kids couldn't be better. |
