re: My son “released” a song from the basement-looking for feedback

Yep, he shows real promise. I like his voice and am glad he's singing--not all kids have the guts or confidence. My own son is a very accomplished musician/writer but it took him some psychological wrangling before he sang his own songs. "Dad, I finally realized no one else is gonna sing them so..."

I can't say anything more than others have said but hope your son keeps at it.

I posted my son's songs here about 6 years ago when he was 15 or 16 y/o and got similar feedback. As parents of talented kids we all think most of what they do is great but I really enjoyed the feedback of others.
