And then they go and surprise you. My daughters are 17, 15 and 12 
and all musicians. The middle daughter is a fine singer and pianist 
and was recently rewarded for a performance of Britten's Abraham and 
Isaac with music shop coupons. She returned with a book of Sinatra 
classics. When she was about 10, I once came down to find her at the 
computer doing some school work, with headphones on. Turned out she 
was listening to Coltrane. And now we perform Vanessa Carlton stuff 
together (number 1 daughter plays bass too).

(Drags thread back vaguely on topic) ... saw Nate Morton playing 
with VC in London recently. Never seen him before, but he was 
*excellent* - fantastic work rate, great showman, but with that 
difficult to pin down quality of apparently having plenty of time to 
spare. Last but not least, he looked like he was having a great time.

Er. And he occasionally uses trigger pads. There, on topic!
