Awfully generous of you, Donny. I don't suppose you've got any recordings of YOU at age 5 to help us understand why this failed to impress you?

What don't you understand about "Not Bad" do you want me to lie and say I was impressed and drone on for 5 paragraphs like you? It was good, & I enjoyed listening..nuff said. Now if you'll excuse me I can get back to my Yankees playoff game.

Too many distractions in today's world for kids to get serious about playing an instrument vs years ago when there were less alternatives & other choices to make music as there are now. Our kids have become too lazy & dependent on musical technology..."Study music for years?..practice every day?...Theory & Scales?" "sorry Mom not now"... my friends are outside and we're going to the mall..."gotta run Dad I'm getting a text message"
