My son has his first gig tonight!

Thought I would share this with my forum friends...

My son who turned 12 on Valentines Day, has his first gig tonight. He's lead singer and one of the lead guitar players in his rock band class and the band is playing for a birthday party tonight.


I can't even begin to share how proud I am of him...

These pictures were taken last year at one of our Detailing 101 Classes where he was actually showing others how to machine polish and he was also responsible for most of the pictures taken at the class. He's very good at machine polishing and a very good photographer and a Straight-A student.











He plays an Ibanez Bio Armor Guitar with his Fender G-DEC Amp




Pretty cool!

Congratulations Mike. I know how proud you must be. You can't put a price on things like this. I know you had him use a Meg's/Fender guitar kit on that Ibanez. LOL. We will expect a youtube video posted soon on this first gig.

Congratulations to you and your son Mike! I hope he has a great time!

That is great Mike and a lot of fun for both of you.
He is lucky to have a supporting father that embraces his passion.

Welcome to the oldest roadie club Mike I started lugging around my sons equipment when he was 12 and started playing the Bass . From there I can only tell you it gets even harder on us . Now he plays Bass / Lead Guitar and drums also does music engineering . Like you I was and still so proud of him . Heres a picture of some of his equipment

This is awesome Mike, being a parent myself, I know how proud you must be! Chip off the old block
