I'm now a huge fan of the Mini Band!

Check out these little kids covering Metallica's Enter Sandman. The 8 year old girl on lead guitar is putting Kirk to shame. These kids rock! There is hope for the future.

And then the lead kid starts to sing...

[deermagnet]

Yeah, a week of pro singing lessons would make a big difference, but it's heavy metal and he can sing it any way he wants and it's okay. They just got together earlier this year and it was shot in summer, so there's plenty of chance for improvement.

I wish I could buy stock in Zoe Thomson. She is gonna be a star. She kills that mid-song solo.

There is a lot of young talent out there. I am an active member of a site, TFCTalent, that follows dozens of young performers. I've gotten to know quite a few of them, and they are all great kids, not just great artists. I've even created a "Wall of Fame" to highlight a few that I expect to be huge stars in the near future. A couple have already become famous - Jackie Evancho (AGT) and Shealeigh (Disney NBT). With this kind of talent being developed, I think our musical future is very good.
