Seriously, all this kid does for me is make me want to practice just a little harder. For anyone to complain about a kid doing something he obviously loves, well they should go just f**k themselves.

I wonder how much he had to push the kid to learn. Doesn't sound like much. He is a true talent. Yeah, I liked the Fathers attitude as well. I wonder how much he had to push the kid to learn.

I'm sure you don't get such a talent every 4 or 5 years....He is incredible. I like his fathers attitude about letting him decide how far to take it, and not wanting to push him - the only problem is - being such an amazing guitar player gives him an air of maturity that really isn't there... its not that he is missing out on kids stuff that would worry my, its more that he would be exposed to things he shouldn't be at this age.... I hope his parents are diligent enough to watch over him carefully and step in when things get perilous for him. He is truly wonderful. Wow!

I'm kind of torn on the subject. On one hand, you have a good blues guitarist whom people enjoy. Additionally, people enjoy that sort of thing in the evening / night. On the other hand, he is a child and those labor laws are setup to help protect the health of minors and such... I'm kind of wondering on that will play out...
