Confessions of a Band Mom
grade and restless. One day he picked up an old practice bass of my husband’s from college. I remember hearing those first tentative plunks from our basement, having no idea they sounded a new chapter, not only for Patrick, but me as well. That day my son became a musician and I became a band Mom.
High school came. Bands formed, broke up, and reformed with new members. There were ‘Battle of the Band’ nights, quite a few Patrick and his friends won. I started seeing other band Moms. We’d nod and smile to each other. Some became my good friends. He and his friends started getting gigs in Hamden, Danbury, Newtown, Wilton, all the hot spots of the Nutmeg state. I knew I was officially a band Mom when I once found myself caught in a Hartford mosh pit, surrounded by large, sweaty teenage boys. What can I say? It’s like being in a pinball machine with you as the ball.
And God, I’d love to take credit for this, but can’t. Patrick picked up that instrument. He was led by some divine guidance and had the good sense to listen. He learned. He practiced. He made mistakes. He had tough gigs with either no one there or stone-faced audiences. But he kept going. He kept getting better.
