Last Saturday night my wife and I went to see The Reneaus<\/a> play at The Wayland\u2019s house. The Reneaus have some new material and were ready to break it out for other folks. I didn\u2019t have any expectations. Why would I? They\u2019re local. The lower my expectations, the less I\u2019m disappointed. And, I don\u2019t like being disappointed. (Full disclosure: I work with and for one of the band members – Warren Guyer<\/a>.) Going to the show was a chance for me and my wife to get out of the house and hang out with some friends. Seeing a band play was mostly just an excuse to hang out. Well, I wasn\u2019t disappointed. Quite the opposite, in fact! I was hooked from the moment the first chord was played. My wife commented that the lead vocalist, Ashley Winn Cooper reminded her of Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star<\/a>. They sounded great. I liked it. But what I liked most was seeing Warren play in a band with his daughter, Layne. I\u2019m a father, and I dream about all the cool things I will get to do with my 22 month old son when he grows up. I look forward to taking him surfing and riding waves together and playing golf with him. After Saturday, I realized playing in a band with your child has to be way better than that.<\/p>\n
