One of the pleasures of getting older is watching children I’ve known since birth develop their talents and grow into themselves as adults.

It’s a wonderful experience, isn’t it! I am enjoying seeing some of them take on parenthood. They seem to do it with such ease. Aiko’s song is lovely.

I’m glad we haven’t got to that stage yet. The 21st birthdays are still in full swing, with a few graduations beginning to happen too.
I’m glad you like her song. She has gone though a tough few years and music has been a huge part of her recovery.
BTW: the song was produced by another fine young human I’ve known since he was in primary school. He has recently graduated with a degree in music and has a job in the orchestra for ‘War Horse” at The Civic until mid 2019.

Thanks. She liked in enough to use it as a profile pic for a couple of gigs and on a university assignment. 🙂

I will definitely tell her that! Affirmation from another musician is the best. Thanks Max.
