The Graystones
Critically Thinking about youthful talent...
Based on our failed K-12 education system, it is easy to generalize that there will not be many quality outputs from K-12 age students.
Although the total number is likely reduced, there will still be cases where young people with talent and persistence persevere despite an inhospitable educational environment.
A good example is the pop band Graystones, where the average age is 12±! As a person with some musical inclination (e.g., I play the piano and trombone — at least I used to), I can very much appreciate what is going on here!
These kids hail from the SF area and frequently set up in an urban setting to provide a free concert to passers-by. Below is a good example. (Make sure to click on the upper left-hand expand arrows to get the full effect.)

What struck me, aside from how good they are, is the absolute indifference exhibited by most passersby. Some staring at their phones, some eating, very few pausing or even bothering to turn their heads. I find that very strange, but they must see young talented kids in this city all the time, so no big deal that they're putting it out there for the public.
Amazing talent at such a young age💕
