Learned somethin this evenin

Not quite sure just what- I went to my sons and played me Gretsch- used the Fishman Loud  Box-

I was not impressed- at all. Here in my apt, setting beside me on the couch, I like it- setting on a hard floor in a much more open space, it sucked, to put it nicely- the kids didn't say it sounded bad, I do- my son just said it was too loud and he couldn't hear me very well and he wasn't hardly more than 6 ft away- I turned the volume down on the guitar, dialed back the gain on the amp and sang louder - he clapped after I did Hands On The Wheel- he and his wife liked my new originals, the DIL said she was impressed-

She fed me home made chicken pot pie that was delicious- my grand kids said I was great the grand daughter said I sounded like Willie -

So, what I learned was: My DIL is becoming a great cook- the fishman amp was disappointing- the grand kids like Pop's singin and playin-
