      Now, will the music in a couple generations time impress us? Or will it be akin to sheer noise to our delicate ears? Who knows....

      If you do an image search on [Carter Helm Margo Nahas] you'll find a photo of the little kid who rose to fame as the smoking angel on the cover of Van Halen's 1984. Here on RUclips you can find Margo tell the story. Little cherub Carter was actually given packs of "cigs". Chocolate. With the "smoke".
      It was hilarious back in the day. But not so funny as of one week ago.

    These kids are blood talented.. Drew and Dave are talking about how special their bassist, it's hard to play bass and try and sing at the same time, he mastered it perfectly! The Rest of the Band also keeps up with the changes! the backing vocals provided by the drummer and guitarist are incredible! very talented kids!

    Someone commented “looks like a retirement home field trip” and “too bad they played for a retirement home”. If so, then then these talented young musicians are playing to the original audience, by performing covers of the great music that these “old retired people” listened to in their youth!! We might be old/retired, but “our” music is also many decades old, and still fabulous. TNT by AC/DC was released in 1976. The next song was written by Neil Young, who was born in 1945 = 69 yrs old in 2014. If you respect this music, and the “old” musicians, then please respect their equally “old” fans, who supported their work, back in the day. The last song, by Led Zeppelin, was released in 1971, nearly half a century ago....and it is still great. My total respect to these talented young men.

    These kids were fantastic. I've been a professional musician for ovwr most of my adult life and I can tell you with certainty that these kids have a commitment to what they are doing. The discipline and the time dedicated to hours upon hours of individual and group practice/rehearsals is alone enormous. Not to mention putting together a medley the order, the key changes/modulations/rhythms is an enormous undertaking. Even if some adults helped compose the medley, it took hours of dedication by each of the members to learn and master their parts and commit them to memory. All of this from 10-13 year olds !
    It takes a different mindset to pull of something like this. These kids hopefully continued their music careers. Bravo !
