:06:01
But they don't... I'm not sayin'...
They're nine-year-olds.

:06:04
They need to work
a little more on music.

:06:07
One thing I don't really like is people
appreciating the novelty of playing music.

:06:10
So, even if you're nine...
:06:12
I mean, that's the whole point
of what we do here is not...

:06:14
"Come look at kids play music. "
:06:16
It's, "Come and look at kids
play music well. "

:06:19
I learned a long time ago...
:06:20
if you don't tell a kid what
they can't do, they may never find out.

:06:23
I'm not gonna cut them short
and say...

:06:25
"You're nine. Let's put you on stage
and not turn your volume up. "

:06:27
You know. Who knows?
Maybe Tucker can play drums.

:06:30
And maybe all it takes
is someone believing in them...

:06:34
in a way where it's, like,
all you gotta do is practice.

:06:41
You know, C.J. Makes it hard
for everybody else.

:06:43
C.J.'s 12, and look how good he is.
:06:49
I'm gonna be in a band.
I'm gonna be writin' songs.

:06:54
Yeah, I'm gonna sell millions.
:06:56
Stuff, hopefully.
:06:58
We tried baseball,
and I think he tried soft... soccer?

:07:03
- Uh-huh.
- Soccer.

:07:05
And martial arts,
and that's really not his thing.

:07:07
For him, I mean, the guitar is it.
:07:14
When he started playing guitar,
I asked him what he wanted to be.

:07:17
He said, "I wanna be a rock star. "
:07:20
At the time,
he was good enough.

:07:22
I didn't see any reason why, you know,
I would discourage him from doing that.

:07:26
C.J. Is gonna make us all
a lot of money.

:07:29
Couldn't ask for more in a kid.
:07:31
Soft-spoken, kind, smart,
hardworking, talented.

:07:36
Not only does he have the talent...
:07:38
but I've never seen focus
in somebody that age.

:07:43
Pretty much after every performance,
I could say I try...

:07:47
I wanna do better than that,
even though that was good.

:07:51
I want to strive to be perfect.
:07:54
Yeah, I'm kind of a perfection...
perfectionist.
