   Kateh,   
   Sounds like you've got it down.  I agree with you 100% on the "not getting a   
   front man" it would take away the novelty that they're just kids having a   
   good time playing bluegrass. Like you said, that's part of the marvel...that   
   they're kids... playing B-grass and not ROCK AND ROLL.  Sean was   
   right...just let them be themselves.  Our Banjo player and his brother the   
   Guitarist...kinda favor the Darlings on Andy Griffith, LOL, they don't show   
   any facial expression.  I'm usually at the sound board making faces at   
   them...it's gets a smile now and then.   
   I'm going to try and get a small film clip of them that I can send over the   
   internet.  I would love to see your kids playing too.   
   T Harper.
