Surely if he really has something that record producers want they would have picked him up already since he has played with some pretty high profile band members.
But I don't have any idea of how that sort of thing actually works, so just consider me to be full of...something. :-)

How did he get past the screening for AI? It's supposed to be an amateur competition. Personally, I was disappointed that they raised the age limit this year. Didn't realize they also opened the gates to seasoned performers, as well.
