We’ve been hearing a lot of stray music coming fromthe lot behind the house at night. I had assumed that it was the gymnastics facility having some kind of exhibition, but the music has always been loud and rock-like, and not what I would typically associate to gymnastics.

So after I shoed away a minivan full of teens from in front of my house tonight, I wandered out to the lot to see what was causing all of the commotion.

It turns out that there is a Paul Green School of Rock in one of the buildings out there. Tonight was a concert night, The Wall. Apparently, the idea is that kids learn to play in a rock band by, well, playing in a rock band. The school trains them for a specific set with other band members, then they put on a real concert, sometimes in real venues, with real stages, lighting, smoke machines, and cover charges. Pretty cool!

I’m glad it’s not some neighbor’s garage band that I would have to put an end to, but it’s a shame that it’s just for kids, because I wanna learn to play in a band. :( I think maybe I should learn to play my guitar first…
