Shands Greenlee, Customer Experience Manager
Last Saturday night my wife and I went to see The Reneaus play at The Wayland’s house. The Reneaus have some new material and were ready to break it out for other folks. I didn’t have any expectations. Why would I? They’re local. The lower my expectations, the less I’m disappointed. And, I don’t like being disappointed. (Full disclosure: I work with and for one of the band members – Warren Guyer.) 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’t 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. They sounded great. I liked it. But what I liked most was seeing Warren play in a band with his daughter, Layne. I’m 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.
