Glad to hear his progress and that he's playing and doing well - it's nice to have a thread that spans some years with the same people in it and what has happened over that time.

I'll fill you in on mine as he is not to different in age. My son has been accepted at college in London to do a BMus degree and play his guitar for three years and then hopefully find his way into the music industry either as a session musician, band player, teacher or whatever.

Having recently joined a new band myself we may look to include him in our band between now and when he goes off to college. It would give me huge pleasure as I really enjoy playing live with him when I get the chance.

He has been asked to play in a jazz band recently, still plays a range of music and still practices and plays as much as he can.

All the best.
