    She just took the theory test; of course it was in treble clef. :/

    But she transcribed like a pro and feels good about it.

    Thank you so, so much everybody!! I am scared beyond words right now, but I'm glad to know so many people are rooting for me. I guess I just need to calm down and let the music come )

    Best of Luck. The Popular Music Program at USC is incredible.
    Last week I did a clinic for one of their classes and the students are of the highest caliber. The week before Lindsey Buckingham was there and next week will be Mike Elizondo( VP at Warner Bros. Music and producer of Maroon 5) so they bring in talent from all genres of pop music.

    It went well (I think/hope)! I ended up playing with one of the guitar instructors and student drummers in a "band" setting, which almost felt like cheating. I played Dock of the Bay, so LawDaddy says its in the bag.

    I also went to the Guitar Center headquarters here and saw Ernie Ball's handprints! Good day.

    Judging by what I have seen so far, Nikki is well on her way. I can't believe how good she is already; way ahead of her years. Good luck and I hope all goes (went) well!

    I see all of the handprints and am humbled by all of their amazing contributions to music.

    Thanks so much for the well-wishes and compliments everyone! I will inform the board once the ruling comes in : )
