Robert, my son is an awesome musician and singer. He has a few "day
jobs"
to pay the rent, but his real love is music. Just now he has hooked up
with some very good musicians and is playing with a really good band.
They
are getting some attention, (but of course nobody knows if it will go
anywhere). He is only doing vocals with these guys even though his
guitar
work is good. The guys in the band are even better than he is, as he
says.
Meanwhile he keeps working every day ..... music has to be his "side"
interest though it should have been his main one. I am just glad he has
a
place to express it. It is a shame to waste a talent like his.

Best Regards,
Evelyn
