Jonesey, point us to the Beck song? I like some of his stuff, but couldn't find this.

Rick, I have not a damn thing to add to this excellent advice, except to re-emphasize that you'll know, when you are with them, the direction to take. You have the music in your head, and the love in your heart. If your friend, who knows these kids, thinks you're the guy for the job, and you can LISTEN and they know you're an honest soul, it'll be good.

And if they're mostly Black kids, I'm with Susan. Show them the roots, and the continuum, of the music.
