Do they have any talent? BE HONEST!
Hey! I am new to this site and would REALLY appreciate your HONEST opinion on this! I have two son's in this band The Wayves. The youngest one has such a passion for music it scares me. when Art was about five he told me he wanted to play the guitar. I didn't think much about it until he was 12 and asked again to play. My mom bought a cheap guitar at a pawn shop and he has been obsessed since. Art plays about four hours a day, every day. UGH... He has over 30 originals written and believe it or not, has won some competitions. I just don't know how he really sizes up, I am his mom! I would greatly appreciate you having a listen to a few originals on www.myspace.com/thewayves
His idol is John Mayer . Thank you sooooooooo much!!!!!!!

Hello Doris,
When I was growing up I sang all the time. My Dad (he is deceased now) would sing with me. He had a marvelous voice. He encouraged me as I believe he thought I did as well. It was a wonderful connection that we shared. The best part, was that he encouraged me to sing. It was never a bad thing to sing...it was music...it was creative...it was freeing! As I grew into a young woman...the singing never left me. Then one day I tried out for a show band...tucked into the Catskills. Guess what? I had to learn 70 songs/harmony parts as well in 2 weeks! Guess what? I got the job as the singer in an eight piece orchestra and I loved every minute of it! I still miss it terribly...the singing that is! I will sing again for sure! Your son DOES have talent!
If my parents supressed my creative efforts of trying to make a liveing doing what I love? Oh...I would certainly have turned out differently. My parents gave me the freedom to choose. More than anything else in those decisive years that I am grateful for...it is that trust and freedom that my parents gave me wrapped up in the arms of encouragement my friend. Allow your children to create!
Regards,
Kjelene

Thank you so much! I feel the same, but just didn't want to give him false hopes. God bless you!
