My memory of Kirk is of a young boy and my son along with their friends posing for a picture acting like they were ROCK STARS.They were either playing AIR GUITARS or real ones but they all wanted to be in a band. My son reached his goal and I hope that KIRK learned to play the guitar. Know that there is a reason for every thing and do not lose the FAITH.
