Hi there... All I can say is WOW..What a treat to see this little blind Boy play..I can tell you that the Lord has touched him.I think his name is Johnny and he is blessed..Believe me you will be hearing a lot about this youngster who has been playing for only one year. It was so nice to see our all time great player working with him..
Kind Regards

Hi Jim. This little boy's name is Jonathan & he is 12 years old & from AZ. He is a great little guy & can really pick that steel. I love to watch his smile when he picks. We had the pleasure of meeting part of his family in AZ & they seem to be wonderful people. Keep picking Jonathan!

| Yes, that 10 year old is my grandson. He & I got to play on Thursday night. We were very honored to be there. Austin started playing when he was six years old. he & Jonathan got to meet back in Jan. in AZ. We are hoping they will be buddies. Austin is so shy that he doesn't say much but he likes Jonathan real well. I think they had fun picking together in the Derby room. Thanks again to everyone who let Austin play their guitars. |

Hey, I offered to swap grandsons with Jerry quite some time ago, but he wouldn't go for it. I thought I was making him a good deal, my grandson is fourteen, is a whis on a riding lawnmower, only alas,, he plays trumpet.
