I am 63 years old and music is a big part of my life. My 9 year old daughter loves Shinedown as much as I do.
We are both serious music lovers and lean more towards well produced and thought out songs. We focus most
on the talent of the musicians as well as the lyrics. Being an ex rock drummer and guitar player it's great to hear
the quality of Shinedown's musical delivery. My daughter is learning music and I'm teaching her how to drum and
keeping time on songs which she is very good at learning quickly. She is going to be making her own music in
the future. I have a disease which makes it very difficult to hold the drum sticks now but still manage to follow
and make music. The disease I have is ALS which is very limiting at times. But music makes the difficult days
a lot better to get through as it helps me forget how limited my life has become. I use music as a meditation tool
that relaxes me and my mind better than any drug that I've tried or have to use now. Thanks to bands such as
Shinedown, my days are much easier to get through!
