    I am an 82 year old man who has fallen in love with Ellen and her bass. Protect her with every thing you have. She will be world famous, and will play with some of the greatest artist in the world someday. Can't wait to see her grow with her music.

    In a world where children are struggling… Covid was devastating for young people, especially those without a very focused environment. This child knows exactly where she’s going, I would bet. This is what great parenting, and a father, who has taken the time to teach his daughter an incredible skill. What a great pair they make… No doubt they should start a band.

    Little girl BIG guitar, BIG guy little guitar. LOL Props to you sir, Ellen is the focus here but you are clearly her hero. You are obviously an accomplished musician but your ability to step back and allow Ellen to shine on her own earns you "Father Of The Year". Watching you two play together is magical and so uplifting.

    Like most people, I've been going through a lot of tough life stuff for a while. The unbridled joy on Ellen's countenance is so infectious, that I find myself shedding some of my self pity when I see/hear her play. My favorite part of each performance is her spontaneous laughter mid-stream. She can't help herself. How many of us are able to console a multitude of strangers with something so pure and beautiful? Her music is a comfort to the afflicted. I hope I live long enough to see her accept her first grammy. Kudos to her family for the obvious support and encouragement.

    Y'all inspire me to practice playing bass. I've learned a lot from miss Ellen and daddy Hovak

    It sounds like you're getting ready to go on the road... That was awesome, 9 more gets you your first album. Ellen, you are quite the role model for kids to learn music and have fun playing it.
