I'm so very proud of him and I'm getting a little bit teary thinking about him leaving. But kids grow up and they go away to college and adults will miss them. That's how it works. Rock on Sean! You're going to be great at Berklee.
Sean...

Good luck at school.
Hope you work hard and remember, that if it wasn't work....then EVERYBODY WOULD BE DOING IT! And mind you, anyone can make music in their own humble way, and that's wonderful too.
Expose yourself to the experiences you'll encounter and the wide range of musics out there in this world you'll no doubt come across.
Never give up your dreams...NEVER.

Don't break a leg; just lose a shoe!

Cheers,
Larry
