BP - Thanks for the background. It is so cool getting educated about this stuff first hand.
Folks would ordinarily expect to find information about their interests and hobbies like this by reading books or the text of some interview. Perhaps the occasional documentary... But first hand? Awesome!

Ah, yes...
"mas cerveza, por favor"
and
"donde esta el baño de hombres?"
That represents my entire knowledge of the Spanish language.. Bovine was my Spanish teacher, he told me that those were all the words they had.. (aside from "tequila", "caliente" and "señorita".)

Yeah, well it was "sanitized" before I sold it on eBay so I don't worry too much about the DPUQ as much as I do Lowell's toenail clippings that are under the Beck's bottle cap that got hammed into the body...hmmmm just when is BP's birthday anyway?? Maybe the DPBB would make a nice presentation to him after I sell my first 100 Bongos or something.

SteveB you have more espanol vocabulary than you let on.
I am not at all well versed in Spanish. I was 25 years ago.
Lesson use it or lose it is real.
I hear parts understand most spoken. I can't speak to save my life.

It can be fun, being a bilingual family. Jeremy understands 100% of what's said to him in either language, which at first seems cool...but then what do you do when you want to confuse him or say something in private?
A kid his age that understands two languages? You just love the hell out of him and be honest. You probably shouldn't say things you don't want him to understand.
In fact you probably can't. The fruit never falls far from the tree thing comes to mind here

Oh yeah - I continually torture him, and he gets it all. Erika has never spoken English with him - ever. When he's with his friends or his cousins and she speaks English just so everyone understands, he'll call her on it. "Mommy, why are you speaking English?"
When he was maybe one year old, Erika was traveling and he and I had been home without her for a week or so. I started to think, 'Hmm, maybe I should speak Spanish to him just so he can hear it.' I was feeding him and started to ask him, in Spanish, how was his day, had he learned anything new, blah blah blah.
I mean, he was one.
So he cocks his head to one side and listens to me for a while and eventually says, with a question in his tone, "Mommy?"
He didn't even understand the concept of two different languages, but he sure as hell knew that I was speaking "Mommy".
But he gets it now, the difference between the two languages....
Kids and language acquisition are fun things to watch.
That is awesome. He has a good mom and pop. May he always understand.
I adopted a girl that is hispanic. She knows less of the language than I do. She wants to learn. I am struggling to get it back.
I am proud of her as any father can be. She is special. She is asking to learn. That says it all to me.
Call me crazy or whatever. This is life.
Playing bass is fun, hell even arguing bass is fun.
Getting the gig is good. But only if we aren't letting our kids down.
I going for a beer now.
