One of the benefits of owning and operating a web site that more than a few people visit from time to time is that, from time to time, I can post anything I want to post that is unrelated to the primary subject matter of the site.

And this is an item that falls squarely into the category of eye-rolling parental pride.

Florio Jr. and two of his buddies have formed a band, and they recently made their world debut at their elementary school’s annual talent show.  They’d been practicing for weeks, and I wasn’t quite sure whether the end result was actually going to sound like music.

Surprisingly, it does.  And they’re only eleven years old.

So I now present for your consideration Phil on guitar and vocals, Matt on bass and vocals, and Florio Jr. on the drums performing, of all things, ”Basket Case” by Green Day.
