Garage Band

Tonight I came home to find the boys excited about their first attempt at a garage band with some of the kids around the neighbourhood. When we were up island for thanksgiving my father gave the boys an old drum set he'd acquired from a family friend. They want to call themselves "Elastic Rabbit" which I think is a pretty cool name. They won't tell me how they thought it up though. Should I be worried? Matthew and a girl named Rachel play the electric guitar. Cody is on bass and Jonathan is the drummer. They haven't agreed yet on the lead singer, though Matthew is pining for the spot. He figures since it's his garage he should be the leader. I remember when I was about 11 and had a band with a bunch of kids around the neighbourhood. We called ourselves The Heartbreakers and we had white T Shirts with Heartbreaker in Red across our chests. Our lead songs were "Nobody" by Sylvia, and of course "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar. I quit the band after I sat on my microphone and broke it.
