My gift today for THE MACHINE!!!

[Sir Desmond Glazebrook]

Hi guys. 

So, one of my very favorite people is THE MACHINE!!!!

He has become interested in art and architecture. I gave him a Su 27 recently. He seems into it so he gets a Sparmax airbrush and Life colour paints and a little compressor. I don't need these as I have 5 awesome airbrushes and 2 excellent compressors. (+ I want to help the hobby)

Here he is. I have been teaching him since he was 3. Great little drummer. Funny kid. A real character. 

I can't wait to see the look on his face.

Cheers mate. I always give child students birthday gifts and what not. I love birthdays. They mean so much to kids. I am in my studio now. He is due for his lesson in 45 minutes. I will take a photo of him when he gets it.

He built a Leggo Eiffel tower and enjoyed it. I did forget to bring some brushes. It was too hard to walk back with a moon boot on my foot.

Good on you mate !....harv

He was doubly happy because his cricket team won and THE MACHINE!!!! hit 7 sixes and 12 fours!!!

Having two boys of my own I know exactly what you mean about kids and their birthdays.

Dale, that is SO cool.................... when he is an old man, he will always remember the kindness you showed, and he will never forget you, and I will bet he will do the same thing for a young guy when he can.................. you're a good man !

[Sir Desmond Glazebrook]

Oh thanks guys. I can't help it. I love kids. John Paul is his real name. I had his parents bring him early so I could teach him how to clean the airbrush. 

I learned to play a samba when teaching little kids because of John Paul. Kids recognize it because it sounds like a heartbeat. It is really interesting. He was just 3 years old when he began with me. I have watched him grow. I think it is like  that saying, it takes a village to raise a child. I never had kids because I was always on tour. Plus families scare me.

Anyway....

Thanks very much.
