I'm a crier anyway, but it's just humbling to know that God has blessed him with such a talent, and paved the way for him to be where he's at. Sitting and watching him play, I know that's where it comes from.

It's one thing to have talent. It's another to figure out how to use it.

It's a talent drain,

We're excited about it. It's going to bring recognition to this area and the local talent we have here. We've had gospel writers, rock writers, blues, country, contemporary. It's really been an eclectic group.

What I say is if you've got a talent and God has given you a gift, I think it's kind of your responsibility to try it. Ya know, we can't all dance and sing and paint and have math in our heads. So, wherever you've got that gift I think you should explore it, but my attitude is there's no better time than when you're young.

A.J. kind of has that God-given talent.
