Default Nephew with talent and a cheap guitar

My nephew is breaking out of his shell. Just one example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqvkjvnvmYE

You have reason to be proud, Doug; he sounds very good! If he stays at it, I'd bet he'll be able to make some money playing music!

He's already better than manyof the hacks I see playing live acoustic gigs.
Perfect voice for the song he chose to play there.

Proud indeed. Were you involved in getting him into music?

No, I can't claim to credit for Lance. However, if or when my two teenaged daughters break out, then I will, because I've been paying for the lessons for the last four years. Worth it though because they play very well and practice all the time without me saying a thing. Guitar is a part of their lives I guess.

He’s pretty good! Good voice too! He’s a lot better than I was at the same age. How old is he; about 15 or so?
