It's great to have followed them from their start to entertaining a whole room of enthusiastic and appreciative people. Please pass along my virtual applause to them. The Heir's work on the professional video was super and I appreciated the sound, too.

They keep it up, eventually they'll be playing musical establishments in worse shape than that. Possibly for humans, though it may be hard to tell. So they'll do fine.<br /><br />Mr. Vanderleun, when I was a kid I had a buddy who wanted to be Ringo. Even got hold of a Ludwig set of appropriate vintage. He was a <i>terrible</i> drummer and he was already fifteen.<br /><br />T.K.

I'm thinking the lad may be a bit you...Gerard,<br /><br />I'm thinking the lad may be a bit young for "...betraying a rich American widow or sipping palm wine in Tahiti ...". But, I could be wrong.<br /><br />I do heartily agree with the sentiment: "A fine neat and<br />trim lad the class of you should be helping himself to life's goodies before the sands run out."<br /><br />Actually, the last one goes for both of 'em.<br /><br />Sip, I think, has that covered...leeluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981890968657705310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-24132697538484029822013-08-22T16:05:41.736-04:002013-08-22T16:05:41.736-04:00Thanks for post!

I dunno.<br /><br /> GRANDFATHER <br /> (confidingly) <br /> And that lot's never happier than when they're <br /> jeering at you ... and where would they be <br /> without the steady support of your drum beat, <br /> I'd like to know.<br /><br /> RINGO <br /> Yeah ... that's right.<br /><br /> GRANDFATHER <br /> And what's it all come to in the end?<br /><br /> RINGO <br /> (defensively) <br /> Yeah ... what's in it for me?<br /><br /> GRANDFATHER <br /> A book!<br /><br /> RINGO <br /> Yeah ... a bloomin' book!<br /><br /> He throws the book down.<br /><br /> GRANDFATHER <br /> When you could be out there betraying a rich <br /> American widow or sipping palm wine in Tahiti <br /> before you're too old like me. A fine neat and <br /> trim lad the class of you should be helping <br /> himself to life's goodies before the sands run <br /> out.

I don't know how you do it, but keep it up, it seems to be working well. BTW, I cannot think of a single negative to home schooling, either.drdavenoreply@blogger.com
