This one got me a little verclempt. And I don't gravitate to flat out happy stories or easily choke up anymore. Unless I've just had a baby ... [that was a postpartum joke. Haha. ok. not really funny. so, ... um ... moving on]
Amid the bluster of nasty news, a reminder that a world of possibilities still exists--and those possibilities often start in the mind of one wonderful person.

homemade jamz blues
dang! these kids are tight!
All Things Considered, July 10, 2008 - When you picture someone playing the blues, you imagine someone who's been through the school of hard knocks. The lead singer for the Homemade Jamz Blues Band has been to school, all right — high school.
Frontman Ryan Perry is 16 years old. He sings like a man and manhandles his [homemade, muffler] guitar, but when he and his bandmates break into giggles, it's clear they're all kids.
The three Perry siblings are 9, 14, and 16 years old; together, they're the Homemade Jamz Blues Band. Ryan took up the guitar at age 7. His brother, Kyle, followed with an electric bass, and their baby sister, Taya, rounded out the trio when she picked up drumsticks. The three are now regulars on the blues-festival circuit.
listen, and check 'em out!
