While Mama was here, we purchased the latest RockBand game, "RockBand: The Beatles," to provide us with hours of fun and a good way to unwind in the evenings.
For all you who aren't familiar with RockBand, it's a video game where you choose from playing lead guitar (using a plastic guitar-shaped controller), bass guitar (again using a plastic guitar-shaped controller), the drums (yes, we actually own a four-headed plastic drum set), and vocals (complete with a microphone.) Depending on what instrument/s you choose, the notes and/or words appear on the TV screen for you to play. For the Beatles game, we sang and played to all Beatles songs. (I have many happy memories of harmonizing to Beatles songs with my Daddy and Uncle Richard on our two hour drives to the ski slopes each year.)
Brandon played lead guitar, I played bass, and Mama did an incredible impersonation of John Lennon on lead vocals. She rocked! :) We had a lot of fun playing, and Mama - we're still practicing for when you come back!
