Rock Band
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his
birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. "It's better
than watching television or playing computer games in my free time.", Ben argued,
"and it'll keep me out of trouble." In the end we gave in "All right," we said, "but you
must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play."
That was just the beginning. Because drums are the not the easiest instruments
to move, the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their
guitars and other electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the house
shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start
practicing, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that although
their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young
men. I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn't expect my parents' generation

m out of trouble and he is never bored.
