8-Year-Old Blues Guitarist's Booking Agent Gets Death Threat
State Says 'T-Man' Can't Play In Clubs.

This is the story of an individual who has been practicing guitar for 2 or 3 hours per day for the last 3 years. He is currently a member of 2 bands. He enjoys playing the blues.

Courtesy of the State of Wisconsin, he is now experiencing the blues first hand. It seems that it is against the law for an 8 year old musician to play the blues in any club that would want to hire him. Most blues musicians play in clubs that serve alcohol. It is a crime for an individual under the age of 18 to play guitar in a club that serves alcohol.

Do you think that this 8 year old blues guitarist is happy the state is protecting him from playing in a band in front of an appreciative audience?
