Frank, There are no "dumb questions" when it comes to fulfilling 
your son's dreams and ambitions. I cheated when I was his age: I 
beat holes in my Dad's bar stools with screw drivers listening to 
the Beatles...He bought me a set of drums. From that moment on, as I 
progressed and joined a band, he ALWAYS supported me- even let us 
practice in his basement, drove us to gigs, waited and waited for us 
to finish and pack up. I know he didn't like the "noise", I know he 
feared the drugs and alcohol..He probably didn't even like the 
music..BUT he was always there in support of a little drummer with 
big eyes and high hopes but very little experience or common sense. 
I just lost that tower of encouragement, and as I think of him, I 
remember his undaunting support that probably started with a 
few "dumb questions". Keep them coming,Frank, you are already his 
hero!
