I'm beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as genetic memory/skills which can be transmitted down the family line? That kid just doesn't look old enough to have learnt that in the normal way.

I'm puzzled and now I'm pissed. I want some of that.
I saw Joe Bonamassa do the same thing at 12-13 years old. He blew us all away. ---------- Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom.

That kid is great, but the singer humming along bass lines in the mic the whole time is distracting, and just sounds goofy to me. If it's a blues festival you'd think they could surely find a bass player.
You've heard of pregnant moms listening to Mozart to supposedly make their babies smarter, maybe his mom listened to Muddy Waters... ---------- http://www.myspace.com/jeffscranton
