#FilHenley just put me onto these. They're a bunch of high school children from #SanAnselmo, #California.

Not my instruments nor style of music. But the claim is that they are very good technically. Fil was waxing lyrical about there being not a scintilla of AutoTune and the skills of the drummer and guitarists. And YouTube commenters have said the same.

So I thought that I'd ask two people that I see regularly talking about such things. (Other people are welcome to chime in too.) Are they as good as I have read?

There are a few other videos on the channel.

For context: #FilHenley of #WingsOfPegasus recently got into the papers for demonstrating scientifically that #CelineDion mimed, and that that was planned from the start because the rehearsal was mimed, too. Xe unwittingly opened up a can of worms about #KenTamplin (comparatively unknown old YouTuber) when Fil's revelation the xe was miming and using a guitar that did not even have the heard notes on its fretboard triggered a storm of other discoveries about Tamplin.

#FilHenley of #WingsOfPegasus just did a video on a childrens's talent show where the show was pitch correcting the contestants for broadcast. My first thought was that the unreasonable expectations that this sets up are vastly unfair to, and massively discouraging to, the children.

Fil Henley, of Wings of Pegasus fame, is in the news today. But not for anything related to Ken Tamplin. Xe is used as background in some versions of a story on a piece by Liberation where the journalists reporting on the report have done a modicum of research of their own.

#FilHenley actually did more than one video on Céline Dion's performance at the #ParisOlympics opening ceremony. The news reports are hyperlinking to the 2nd, so here's the 1st.

Though this video is five years old, it only came up in my Youtube suggestions today. A lot better late than never.

Aspiring guitarists ought to see this video. There is also one where Tommy Emmanuel discusses Lenny's playing. For awhile, what Emmanuel has to say is pretty ordinary; but then he kicks it into a higher gear. Patience with the Tommy Emmanuel video likely will be rewarded.

I once talked with Lenny's mother, Betty Cody, on the telephone. She was a real enthusiast. It is easy to see how she was such a big influence on her children.
