O.T. - I reconnected with my son after 20 years!

I know this isn't the place to post this, and I apologize....but I am so excited that I had to share it with you folks. My son, Scott and I were separated when he was 3 months old and I didn't see him again until he was 10 years old, and that was only for a couple of hours. We live on opposite coasts and I have been trying to locate him for many years, when out of the blue, I wake up yesterday to an email message from him, asking me if I am his father? Once I confirmed it with him he asked for my phone number and he called me and we spoke for an hour. He'll be 30 this summer and  I am sooooo excited...I just can't hide it!

    Scotty- That is really great.  Glad to hear it.  And, if he's on the west coast... well, there's a chance to have a reunion and get away from the snow.  I hope it's the start of something wonderful for both of you.

    Nope. He doesn't play any instruments. I'm sure his mother wouldn't let him, just as she didn't let me play when she was around. She was so jealous of the time I spent playing (which was maybe a half hour per week) that she smashed my prize acoustic guitar to pieces.

    Is this woman on the market? She sounds qualified to be my next wife.

    I think she is. I heard from my son that her 2nd marriage lasted 4 years.

    So, I guess he doesn't play the banjo.

    So sad.

     Such a cool story, I'm happy for you. Good move putting as much distance as possible between you and the guitar smasher, that could get expensive..

    Wow Scotty good thing she didn't cut your fingers off after she smashed your guitar , that's brutal stuff .
    I'm happy you and your son are finally hooking up after all those years , I'm sure the both of you will have plenty to talk about .

    Good Luck ! Hey here's a wild question for you , I just started my newest song called " HORSEMAN " and I was hoping to get hooked up with someone who plays fiddle and guitar .
    I know we have had our ups and downs but here's a chance to mend things up between you and I in a good way .

    This new song is going to be a new version of  " Horse " , the only difference is its going to sound ten times better .
    I just started putting together the first verse , I'm going to break barriers with this new drum track I started creating .
    Will it have some horse sounds in it like before ,yes but slightly different then before .

    It won't be ready for another month , I want everything in it to be perfect before I hand it over to someone like you or maybe Mark who is willing to listen to it and decide if its right for the person who wants to add guitar to it .

    Anyway its something to think about in the next four weeks , if you choose not to I completely understand .

    Glad things worked out for you and for your son .

    I'd better hold off... The last time I asked a girl for her digits? Turns out she was in pre-med? And she gave me a prostate exam  They never seem to understand me Scott.

    Oh, Scott, that's just unreal.  I can't begin to imagine your elation when you read that email and then got to talk to him.  Wow.  I hope you have many more conversations and emails and are able to get together soon.  Just incredible and I'm so happy for you!  :-)

    That's really cool Scott!! I haven't seen my dad in over 20 years. He's just on the other end of town, but I think he wants to see me about as much as I want to see him. Hopefully your meeting with your son will be the beginning of a new chapter.
