Thanks for the kind messages. I was 16 at the time yes - SIXTEEN. I lied about my age to Disney - but I remember those days well. I was even on StarSearch back then - but Folk Music wasn't what agents were looking for - not another Bob Dylan or John Denver - or GL. I finally got into a "Boy Band" playing lead guitar, but they wanted me to leave school and Mother would never have a "son like mine leaving High School." In any event, I kept on with the music and got to meet lots of cool people. My son is only 4 years old, but he will love his middle name! My daughter did not get a unique middle name - not really fond of Streisand or Tori Amos enough to name my child after them!
