I was disappointed to see that Sen Kedzie is using his time in the Senate on such a trivial matter. We have rising unemployment in our county (i.e. Buell Motorcycles);health care issues, and the entire economy to deal with.
Is this really a priority?
Should Sen Kedzie be embracing this issue at this time?
I believe his time could be better spent on the "real" and "important" issues in Walworth County.
This is one child, who wants to perform in Bars/Taverns.

A child that is 10 years old should not be in a bar/tavern regardless if there is a parent with him.
The language can be inappropriate. Some of the actions of the patrons is inappropriate.
If he comes in, plays, and leaves...then you can somewhat control what he is exposed to.
Are School, homework, social, church and athletic activities also included in his life?

Once again Pete, you're way out there....

I think a child who can play that great should be allowed to play anywhere as long as they are supervised. If you read the article there is a time that they can play and have to leave. The ones complaining are the ones who do not appreciate good music. My grandsons love to play with grandpa in the basement and if they get real good we will allow them to play on stage.

Do those of you opposed to kids performing in bars and taverns have evidence to support your beliefs? I have evidence. I know plenty of now grandfathers who were at one time under-age bar performers themselves. I have not seen one single incidence of undesirable correlation in any of them. If anything is apparent, it's that kids who make music in taverns will grow up to have an aversion to them, not an affinity for them. (It's the same reason people don't hang out at their workplace in their spare time.)

Most blues music is performed in bars and taverns, not in churches, fairs or schools. The T-man plays blues. That is a positive thing that should be encouraged by adults. It's really that simple.

The kid loves to play music, go to youtube and type in his name, you will see many videos of him playing on Beale Street in Memphis, and many other venues that serve alcohol and have music. He outclasses people that have been playing guitar their whole life. What is he supposed to do, play the elementary school talent show?? The only people that are going to appreciate his talent are adults.

This isn't about that Pete....

Have a drink and settle down curt.....

It is not appropriate for kids of that age to be in a bar regardless. People that bring their kids to bars have no respect for themselves, their kids, or the people around them. bars, taverns, etc or for adults and adults only. Nothing like using his position for his own agenda.

'Bout time!
