Only he’s not a boy anymore. He’s a fine young man, and a damn fine guitarist.

This past weekend Barbara & I flew up to Bellingham, WA to see Walking Stick for the Giant perform at a local nightclub. That’s the band Arthur and his friends created. We had a blast!

In the middle of Arthur’s flashing pick-and-finger work during their closing number a young bearded fellow came up to say something to me.

Since the music was pretty loud he had to bellow. “You must be a very proud dad right now.“

Which prompted me to yell back “Yes, I am!!“.

Very much so.
