Hawk, thanks for sharing the link.

Definately enjoyed T-Man!

When I was eight I was probably still playing in the dirt with army men.... preferred them to barbie dolls

I was just coming to my own as a trumpet player after switching from piano 4 years earlier. And then there was that budding business in the fishing worm industry.

That kid should have a great career in front of him.

You mean, if he lays the hookers, and gets off on the booze and coke right?

Ahh, Wisconsin has a similar law regarding minors performing in liquor-licensed establishments as Pennsylvania. You have to be 16 there, 18 here. That's the law that forced Halestorm to go out of state to perform several years ago, before drummer Arejay turned 18.

Another reason I am against government intruding into our lives.

Love the blues, love my country, hate runaway government.

He's got some abiltiy there. But Steve Lukather put it best when he said... "Somewhere on Youtube there's a fetus with more chops than anyone..." People have never played better than they have these days. They have all the chops in the world but no originality. Where's the next Hendrix or Van Halen? That's not to say the kid won't be the next great player, but it's been a long time since some one gave us something new...

Move to China, no child labor laws there.

Wow! That kid is amazing! There was a post on here with a young boy playing Ozzy also. What's up with these kids anymore? I think in our liftime we will see amazing things accomplished on instruments. It's not only guitar either, there are some amazing videos on youtube of young drummers too. When I was 7 or 8 I can honestly say that playing an instrument was the last thing on my mind. I wish that I grew up in a musical minded family, or even had the desire to learn at a younger age.
