His music scholarship covers about 1/2 of his tution. I seem to think kids either have the ear for music or they don't. Neither his mom nor I have any music ability but there are musicians on my side of the family.

Steffan sounds like quite the musician! Not sure yet if Antonio will go that far with it. Time will tell if he has any long lasting interest in it. He really likes it right now though. Playing in the marching band is what he says he'd like to do. He's all excited right now with the thought of someday being able to play with the UGA Redcoat band on Saturday afternoon "between the hedges"
