Student for the fall, musician for the summer

Everyone has talents they keep just to themselves, such as junior Bobby Eaton, who spends his time outside of school playing the guitar and working on his music.

Q: How long have you played?

A: Since I was six years old, so that’s like ten years.

Q: How did you get started playing?

A: My dad is a professional musician. He plays bass.

Q: Who teaches you?

A: My dad teaches me at home, just every couple of months now that I can play by myself and have the hang of it.

Q: Do you play at any concerts or shows?

A: As of right now, no. I plan on it this summer. I will be putting a band together in Oklahoma, with a lot of more experienced musicians who play 70s and 80s type music.

Q: Why do you like playing guitar?

A: It’s calming and soothing; it keeps me focused.
