Now that's cool. I have an old H/S buddy who had the best band in town (IMHO) when we were kids. Typical Mississippi, he has three first names! (John Howard Dennis) He stuck with it and has had a band all his adult life! His current band is called "Chill".

John Howard has done this all his life. Here's an old newspaper clipping of him playing the guitar as a young kid.
