Yuto!

Hong Kong is not known for its music scene, but I have caught a few good concerts here (Stanley Jordan, David Sanborn, Elvis Costello coming in March). One of the most interesting was at the hip/alternative/artsy Fringe Club featuring Japanese guitar wunderkind Yuto Miyazawa. He is 10 years old and officially the youngest professional guitar player in history. He plays hard rock/heavy metal covers (e.g. "Crazy Train", "Freebird") and he is truly phenomenal. He is so small he has to stand on a platform to give himself the prominence he deserves.

    It's at this point we ask ourselves (given that we're way past 10 years old), and what have we mastered in our lives?
