10-year-old guitar prodigy Thatcher Harrison performs the Herman's Hermits song "I'm Henery the 8th, I Am" with his father, Stan Harrison, on 29 January 2012. The founding member of the "Brush Your Teeth Band," Thatcher spices up his lead with some well-placed legato technique.

Thatcher and Stan Harrison - a.k.a., the Brush Your Teeth Band - performed "Heartache for Everyone" on 20 January 2012. "Heartache" was written by Amy Ray and made popular by the Indigo Girls. Thatcher's lead and the band's counterpoint singing give the song an interesting new twist.

On Sunday afternoon, Thatcher and I played at Gary Fish's open mic in Portsmouth, RI.

A few hours before we drove off to play, Thatcher and I learned Paul Desmond's "Take Five."

As usual, my boy took things to an entirely unreal level.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Happy New Year!
