Could this be the next Frank Sinatra?
For those who want to compare, here is a rendition of "My one and only" recorded by Frank in 1953. He was 38 years old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkWplI8fOyM

I'm not talking about his talent or his lack of control. For crying out loud, the kid is only 16. I'm referring to his distinctive voice, how very similar it is to Sinatra. Give the kid some more time to mature. Does anyone have a recording of Sin...

Mark, Since you are the one who started this thread, I think that you should be the first to try the new amp. Only fair. (o: 
What's your profession? Age?
Dang, John. I didn't think we'd be hearing from you anymore. Are you back? If so, I hope you are well and yes, it's good to see you back. (o:
