My best gig ever

[Clarky]

Our wee boy, Ethan, is five months old, and for the past month absolutely refuses to go to sleep unless he's had a couple of good hours of crying and a lot of attention. You can imagine the state of Yummy-Mummy's nerves.

Tonight at the wee guy's bedtime I was playing on a beautiful Ovation 12-string that a customer of mine loaned me, and I took the guitar into his room and started playing. He stopped crying straight away and just stared at the guitar, and then started smiling and goo-ing. He must be a big fan of 80's hair bands, because a setlist that included Wanted Dead or Alive, Silent Lucidity, I Remember You & More Than Words had him beaming. After about half an hour his blinks started getting slower and slower (thanks Queensryche) until he was sound asleep - and he still is.

Best gig I've ever played, it really made 21 years of playing totally worthwhile - and I got a nice kiss from Mrs Clarky into the bargain.

Just thought I'd share.

Good stuff. The novelty might wear off if you have to do it every night though.

I need the practice. Having a baby in the house isn't exactly part of the recipe for rockin out on a regular basis...

That's some awesome stuff, music has the complete opposite effect on my 1 year old, she starts rockin out and jumpin up and down when ever she hears music, even with ads on tv So I dont get the same privilege as you
