Fourth Child, Third Son, with help from his little brother. My kids have "made it big" locally. A band that the older son plays bass guitar for, and the younger son helps write lyrics for, has taken a prize in a local band contest. They have won a money prize, radio air time, and a recording session, among other things. They are ecstatic, of course, and a little full of themselves right now. This is unusual enough that I mention it here, though I do not consider it their "big break" into national spotlight. But I am glad to acknowledge their hard work and their current accomplishment. Both of them have been trying to get a group of guys together who will work hard enough, and stick with it enough, to advance in proficiency and become a coherent entity. I am proud of them for their diligence, and delighted for them at their first success.
