My little brother is awesome...

So, AJ and I have been working on some new songs lately. I showed him how to play don't get around much anymore and La Bamba two weeks ago and he was doing okay with both. He could play all the chords and he had the melody down, but the rhythm was weird and he knew it. So, I ended up making him a CD of me playing both songs so he could practice at home and get a better feel for both. Well, apparently he practiced with that damned CD like a maniac because when he pulled out his ukulele and played for me this week, he blew me away. He wasn't just playing the notes anymore. He owned them and he knew it. When he was done, a little smile crept across his face and, I swear, I've never been so proud of a kid in my life. My little brother is awesome.
