I jammed a little bit tonight for about an hour and then went into my son's room to check on things. His sitting on the floor, headphones on and listening to my record player he so elegantly confiscated.

Look on the player and he's spinning Frank Sinatra. He loves Sinatra and a lot of stuff from the 70's. The kid has some cool vibes.
 
How old is he? Its amazing how music goes from generation to generation.
He's 15. The other day in the car, my wife was playing a random song channel on her phone and my son is like, "oooh I like ELO!" We had a conversation and found out he is big into a lot of 70's music.

Every once in a while we go to a used video game store and there's an underground record store we pass. He asked to check it out a few weeks ago and picked out a few records including the Frank Sinatra album.
 
My eldest will be 44 in a few weeks. Both he and his brother were raised listening to my mid/late 60s - 70s rock. As well as other genres. So they too have an appreciation of what we all refer to today as “classic rock.” Of course they sought out their own genres. Think 80s into 90s…. Some of which I enjoy as well. Some not so much. But that’s how it goes. Pretty sure my mom and dad wondered about me and Black Sabbath…… Alice Cooper…. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida….. etc.

True that, my pop couldn’t tolerate GFR or Black Sabbath
 
Oops!

Years ago I got into the BIOS on a Win98 machine and overclocked it a bit. It’s way harder for the commoner to pull that off on current machines.
I used to tweak BIOS settings all the time back in my early computing days. Way easier back then. Apparently he clicked the wrong thing and set his drives up as a RAID server. So that's what hosed everything. My eldest was able to walk him through fixing it late last night and he's back up and running.

Yeah. Lots more Voodoo going on in these new machines than those old ones. My first machine was an 8086 bought in the 80s. Good ole C prompt days. It was easy to look under the hood on those.
 
Good on him for getting His swing on.. I am so proud of my 21 year old son exploring jazz and funk. He turned he onto Vulfpeck recently, I got him spinning Tower of Power and Average White Band now
