both of them are really good on instruments,and my daughter has a decent voice.she can drum like a bat outta hell too.....and she's only 10.
as for my son...14..helluva drummer as well but........he's been buggin' me as of late to teach him guitar...and he dialed in the bass on his own......"he dad look what i learned.".........he blew me outta the water.
if only they would practice on a regular basis.......they'd be really good as musicians.
now do i want them to be musicians?..........not really but,if they enjoy it....then hell.........i'll back them up.
i'd back my kids in any choice they were to make actually.
except for being a scumbag roofer like their dad.

Ok, first off...you're not a 'scumbag roofer', so quit it.*smack* (if you get the show, watch "Dirty Jobs" sometime). You work at a needed trade that you are probably quite skilled at, it puts a roof over your head, food on the table and allows you to indulge in your true passion of music.
Your kids more than likely inherited your musical talent; it seems that, (except in my case with Dad being an artist), kids inherit their parents' talents and manage to take them one step further than the generation before. My son, in addition to being so outstanding as an artist, is now showing amazing skill at music composition. Of course, he practices daily for hours either on the keyboard he borrows from school or on the computer, but for now it's a passion of his that I hope he continues. But if he doesn't, that's ok too; when he was younger, until about 10 years old, he was a terrific tapdancer. My sister remarking that he was the lucky only boy in his dance class basically killed that pasttime.
