I must asume these kids had guidance from either a parent or someone who knew how to arrange for distribution, legal requirements etc.
Still, a very impressive and inspiring group of young people.
Let's pitch the idea of buying the record collection to these kids. They put up the money and we share in the profits when we exploit the collection.
Wow! When I was their age, all I wanted to do was play baseball!
When I was their age I was still mowing lawns and working summers at my parents' restaurant. These kids are amazing!
I must show this to my grandchildren! Maybe it will inspire them!
I bet my mother's jam is at least as good. I must be a bad daughter. I should have sold it and become a millionaire!
Bully for these young people! No worries as to how they will pay for college.
