the_skezz Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm glad my parents are into the same music that I'm into, hate to think how many b******ings I'd have received for playing Iron Maiden basslines through the evening if they weren't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Notice the OP's name is 'koalasrock'. Rocking doesn't happen quietly. Edit: reminds me, I'm pretty in the habit of encouraging people to take up the instruments they've always thought of doing. dude I worked with table drummed a lot, he'd got permission from his mrs to spend a sum on a new graphics card, I sent him a link to a reasonable deal on a drum kit on gumtree, he called the guy and arranged delivery between him getting home, and his mrs getting home. Wish I could have seen her face coming home to a drum kit in the living room being played badly. Edited April 29, 2013 by Mr. Foxen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 [QUOTE] I feel your pain My husband used to play the acoustic guitar most nights, which was fine as I could still do things I wanted to do without his music being too intrusive, we live in a small terrace with no room for him to have a practice space and with 2 dc asleep it meant he had to sit in the living room with me. However 2 years ago he switched to alto saxaphone, joined a jazz group and basically alienated the entire neighbourhood, and me! In the end we got electricity to the shed and he now spends every evening in there tooting away, and on a thursday he's out at his jazz class. So although the noise issue has been addressed I now never see him! he disappears to the shed the moment I take the dc upstairs for stories/bed, he's so obsessed with the sax, there is hardly any room in his life for anything else. It's taken me a while, but I'm fairly used to being a sax widow now though occasionally he doesn't come back to the house till gone 10.30pm, weekend that's ok, but mid-week I'm off to bed by then, so we don't see each other at all!
