[Dixielandjazz] A plethora of 10 year old jazz musicians?

[Stephen Heist]

You know, I'm going to REALLY be amazed when one of these child prodigies
actually makes the transition to being a happy adult, and an accomplished
full time playing musician...
I don't know WHY parents push their kids, because all of them seem to burn
out, usually with disasterous results...
Anybody know of a happy ending for one of these prodigies?  There MAY be
one or two, but sorry to say, I've never heard of one!
All the Best,
Steve Heist
