I was present at the guitar players (on the right) christening, been patiently waiting ever since...

Seriously, I have known his parents for close to 20 years now. They love music and play records and cd's all the time around the house. I think that their taste was an influence even though their son would ever admit that right now, he's 14 after all! But you can hear/feel the sensability. He is the main songwriter arranger. And he is essentially the one who taught the bassplayer to play.

When his dad sent me the CD, at first (before I played it) I was thinking 'uh-oh how can I be honest and not lose a long time friend'.
Well as you can hear I had no worries.
No shopping or deals are going to happen anytime soon.
The kids aren't really ready yet anyway.
The drummer, singer, bassplayer all need to find themselves a little more.

Yea, they could be Pro-tooled into submission, but that will cripple the bands psyche, as they will always be trying to imitate that unnatural 'perfection' trying to live up to their cyborg selves, killing the exuberance and spirit that is so engaging.

Shoot, I haven't even posted the 'hit' song yet.
