    I saw Papa Kiszka blush a little when Melissa told them, "Without you, we wouldn't have Greta Van Fleet, we wouldn't have Monday Night Blues." And Karen getting teary-eyed and proud over her boys. ❤

    These are some AMAZING parents! GVF came to be from just a perfect storm of circumstances, sounds like they had/have a wonderful group of people around them and thankfully the world gets to experience their gifts!! 💜💜💜💜

    Aunt Mel you have no idea how insightful and valuable this is for people that admire the boys and for artists that are inspired by them!!! I have learned so much and been so challenged by everything this boys do and represent. (Also I just realised sammy makes the SAME facial expressions as papa kiszka🥺🥺🥺)

  • @sarahtonen4873

    You made the most wonderful kids!!!!! Who make the most amazing music! I can see where they get their lovely disposition!
    You guys are seriously my parenting heroes! I would be over the moon if my boys ended up half as amazing as yours. Charming, humble, polite, kind, talented, and those teeth!!! All of them, beautiful inside and out! You both deserve a standing ovation....
    later....(edit)
    upon hearing the opening bars of Highway Song, my busy 4 year old stops running and goes, "what's this?"
    then screams, "OH Yeah 100% ROCK", starts twirling, arms extended
    .............things are looking good!

    I love this band! The boys are so talented and well-spoken. But as a 47 year old Midwestern mom, I love these PARENTS!! My 15 year old has been acting since age 3. That and drawing are the only things she loves. She’s so smart and gifted but lousy at school. Especially with covid and remote learning. It’s been so hard and her programs aren’t able to meet. The theaters are closed. College applications are looming and I’m like, is it even worth it now? But she’s so talented. She got accepted to Interlochen camp which was canceled this past summer. Major, major bummer. Sorry went off on a tangent into the internet void there for a minute. I just am so thankful this video exists. That there are other parents in the world who have dealt with raising talented kids and the struggles of trying to help them make their dream come true while also worrying endlessly about their future. It lets me know I’m not alone. Thank you Melissa!

    Your sons are magnificent. I justaryed listening to them last week. I found themm on u tibe. I love them all . I love joshes voice when he sings. Jake was homonizing on a song with his brother. I have been listening to you karen an Laurie talk about your sons when you were giving an interview. Loved listening to you talk about when they were growing up. You are so funny karen i found myself laughing right along with all three of you. The part about when the boys were little an uou were yelling. Thanks for the laughs. I hope your sons go far with their music career.Lord knows this world needs more love an peace. They are definitely getting the love back that they are spreading.Ecellent Band.They are Blessed. ❤😊👍🌟

    I love Papa's description of the blues, not only the flat 5 note, but I like to do the trilling of the minor 3rd to the major 3rd, along with a mix of the dorian scale and the mixolydian scale , so with all of that, the basic minor pentatonic, adding the b5, and trilling the minor 3rd with the major 3rd, and adding some dorian/mixolydian , all in a 5 second time frame, gotta love the blues
