Ah, even closerā¦in Ringgold. Actually closer to East Ridge.
Dang, you ARE close! Our son goes to Baylor and Iām actually about to head to the Mobile station off exit 350 to pick him up from the bus.

Does he play sports?
No, he played basketball for a while, but it just wasnāt his passion. He had a pretty shot though.
He is super into guitar and songwriting.
I have this video of him on YouTube from a few months back (I just uploaded it though):

Wow he has some serious talent! Glad he found something he enjoys. He looks just like Plav!!! Hope to see you guys soon in Halton, I have very fond college memories of Plavās days with us.

That boy needs humbucker
Thank you! If I hadnāt given birth to my kids, I wouldnāt think they were mine. Those Plavich genes are strong!
He has a different guitar now and got some pedal thingie (I had to go back and look - a noise gate - I know nothing about guitars, so Iām having to learn on the fly) for the interference, so maybe similar? Iāll ask him!
He has a Schecter Guitar Research Demon now and itās a much cleaner sound. He got a Flying V for his birthday, but got too frustrated trying to keep it tuned. Weāre trading that one in. My dad is restoring his Fender Coronado II for him too, which is special.
Totally different world than athletics, but weāre learning!

Thatās great. You canāt have too many guitars or go wrong with only one great luthier. Guitarist spend half there life tuning a guitar and the other half playing out of tune. Some nice locking tuners a a simple upgrade to keep the Flying V in tune
Didnāt even know those were a thing! He was really excited about that guitar, so if he could find a way to make it work, heād be thrilled. Iāll do some research with him tonight!

Oh my. I rather like those. Would love to play one. Iām no shredder though - I prefer strumming.
What color is his? Iāve seen several variations.

I think my dad called it sunburst. I know itās yellow in the middle like that one, but itās been a while since Iāve seen it so I canāt remember exactly. 
Nathan is all about 90s metal and grunge right now.

Yep thatās a sunburst there. I have a similar type of guitar by Gretsch but mine is black.
That one I have pictured is probably $12,000.
Speaking of 90s grunge - Dave Grohl from Nirvana / Foo Fighters I think plays a baby blue Coronado.
Great guitar. Easy player and sounds awesome. I love the inline / sequential tuners on the headstock too (sorry guitar geek stuff). Just easier to live with.

$12,000?! Iām going to have to make sure he understands how to take care of that thing. We were talking about it this morning and he was shocked I knew about the Dave Grohl thing. He was like, yes! Yes, he does! But then I had to confess you told me and thatās the only reason I know. Ha!
And tell me about it, ninerJ. In my head, weāre still 22. But then I look in the mirror - maybe I should just get rid of those. lol

Nathan informed me this morning that he does indeed have a humbucker on both of his newer guitars (or something similar anyway). Then he started talking guitar speak and totally lost me!
Oh! A Syracuse memory just hit me that I donāt think was ever shared.
The night before the game, Brendanās dad, Brendan, and Sager were talking in the hotel. His dad asked them if they had to choose, would they rather beat Syracuse or hit ten threes. They both said beat Syracuse, but hitting ten threes would be wild.
And then the next dayā¦Brendan got both.
