It kind of makes sense to me that they are on T&N, because they are known for signing artists that in my opinion are not “CCM Bands” but rather, they are christians and are solely marketed to the mainstream market.  I struggle with that as I have tried to request interviews with this artist and this artist, and I was politely told that they don’t do interviews with christian media.  Hmm…  

 But I digress.  Children 18:3, also known as David, Seth, and Lee Marie Hostetter put on an impressive high energy rock stage show and are very entertaining with lots of stage movement and a fantastic aerial assault on the drums that makes the 80′s hair metal drummers look like beginners, except maybe Robert Sweet from Stryper.

Their music is straight punk music with driving guitars, booming bass, and very solid drumming.  It is the ultimate in driving, cranked to 11 music.  Lyrically, it is not a spritually deep cd, but I wouldn’t expect it to be.  This is a band that rocks and is something I haven’t seen since poison, a good, visually appealling, high energy party band.  Here’s the video for their new single, All My Balloons.

Sierra has been wanting to play the guitar for a while now, but on Monday we made the commitment and after securing lessons, we bought a 3/4 acoustic guitar. It came home in the box and was immediately opened without my knowledge or help. When we heard some strange noises coming from the family room, it was Sierra playing a severely out of tune guitar and singing a song that Kathy said was from American Idol. (I’m not an Idol watcher, so it was new to me). Now, she reminds me of the movie La Bamba where Ritchie was taking his guitar with him everywhere he goes, to school, on dates, to bed… get my drift. She has gotten proficient at carrying it with her all around the house, and would take it everywhere if we let her.

I don’t know if there are similarities, or if she will be like me and start lessons and never really get into it. (I later found out that is a symptom of my ADHD, makes sense to me now, but I wish I had known about it then)

So, the moral of the story is that there are 3 things I can say about the future:

1. She will be better at guitar than I could ever dream of being.
2. I will not be subjecting myself to another full waterfront festival weekend (if Warren asks me to be runner again, I may consider it, maybe)
3. My FM Radio debut is tomorrow night on Renegade Radio from 6-9 PDT
