I've heard of 11-year old girls aping Taylor, Katie, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga ...

... but Ronnie was new to me ... best visual moment at 4:34, the child is a card-carrying satanist!!!



They shouldn't let children sing about mushrooms either, not those kind of mushrooms at least ...



Video of the artist as an even younger girl ...

She has a powerful voice for any age. And she sounds much better than Grace Slick, although that's not hard to do anyway.

[Basvarken]

Remarkable choice of repertoire for a girl of her age. Wish my kids would show an interest in rock music...
But I'm not particularly impressed by her singing though. It's not bad, but not great either.


This Dutch girl also sang quite a remarkable repertoire when she auditioned on a Dutch TV show:

She still misses notes, but it's getting better over time, just imagine what she might be once she's 18.

That little opera singer is amazing too.

As for your kids taking an interest in rock music ... give them time. That only started with my son around the time he was 13 and he progressed swiftly from Right Said Fred to Eminem to Korn to Judas Priest to Guns 'n' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Cinderella, Whitesnake, Led Zeppelin to, errrm, Delta Blues and Bluegrass. And now sends me emails in the middle of the night proudly displaying how he has effectively used his most recent Kay or old Gibson acquisition to emulate Jimmy Page's sound circa 1969. Yes, Jimmy Page. Not Ritchie Blackmore. Children can be incredibly cruel.

I'm going out with him around Easter for a two week trip to Nashville and then down the Mississippi, a father & son roots of blues exploration road movie ...

Wow Uwe, pretty cool trip with your son - have a great time!

Let us know if you find Bob's Country Bunker!

"On an Don an Don, it's Heaven an Dhell"
Evil, bitter old man that I am , I'm not generally inclined to give kids a pass on things like this. Phrasing is a big deal to me. Fact is, almost every School Of Rock here in the US has a couple of yewts with this level of ability. They all aren't 11 years old, but it's not that rare.
When it comes to musical wunderkind I always look for maturity in the vocal, as opposed to just the ability to hit notes.
I always use this lady's first album as a reference point (she now has a steady gig as a member of Kid Rock's touring band).

You planning on taking a raft own the Mississippi? You do want it to be authentic, don't you? 

Plenty to see in Memphis and in the Mississippi delta.

[Droombolus]

We'll expect a father/son duo hard-rock version of Paul Siebel's Nashville upon your return ........

If you take that raft trip you each need a a pair of these to be authentic  :

To my knowledge these are the only overalls still made in America.  Hickory stripe is a truly a fashion statement - I wear mine when i work in the yard - one strap hanging loose without a shirt...drives the soccer mommies mad!

I miss my Big Mac coveralls.  Wore out the ones my dad left me.  Had to buy Ebay Chinese-made ones, but I did get color choise.

Watch out for inbreds.

Watch out for inbreds.

Uwe's son plays banjo. He'll know to watch out if he hears Dueling Banjos.

Check out the Round House website - can't go wrong for $29.00  I wear mine when it's cooler down here - they really are hard to wear in the heat.  Regardless of when i wear them I catch hell from the neighbors!  Keep in mind that my wife and her friends have been calling me a fashion insult for about 35 years
