What a sad story. Music is lovely, it's a shame his family never took the time to appreciate it. Or if they did, they waited too long.

Yeah. It makes me appreciative that my parents are paying for me to study music.

    paying for me to study music.
I was reading so quickly that this first looked like "paying me to study music" -- and I thought - "Yes! now those are some music-loving parents!" -- but "paying for me" is pretty good too.

Hahaha that'd be the day.

I should hope so, that's pretty remarkable.

I was playing dive bars at 30 years old and my parents still never missed a show. They were definitely the new green's biggest fans.

That's fantastic. Can I give your parents a badge?

Ironically, they went to every show but getting them to visit Hubski is near impossible. Big generation gap there.

Haha yeah I can see that.
