Mr. Day, It's cool to finally get to talk to you (so to speak).

I grew up on your music. You played at a small elementary school named Deer Valley Elementary in Hoover, Alabama back in 2003 or 2004, when I was in Kindergarten. I saw how much fun you had with music, and it inspired me to go down that same route. Now, at 16 years of age, I play guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion (drums, marimba, etc.), and I produce music on my computer.

It's because of you that music became such an integral part of my life back when I was too young to understand its significance and power, and for that, I thank you with all my heart.

As for a question, what music did you enjoy listening to growing up? I would imagine what you listened to as a teenager/child was what inspired you to start playing the guitar and singing, and I'm curious as to who that was :D

Oh definitely! As much as I love Jack White (and as good of a songwriter he is), I've never felt the amount of energy from any of Jack's performances than I feel from just one playthrough of "Please, Please Baby" by the FDJ.

I consider music more like a sampling platter. It's all there, why not try it all? I like everything from Black Sabbath to the Black Keys to Foster the People to Bass Drum of Death to DFA1979, and I love electronic music as well, from Deadmau5 to Squarepusher to Venetian Snares to Mord Fustang :D

I love Jack White a lot, but I have a friend who absolutely adores him, more than I ever could. As far as the blues are concerned, I'm a White Stripes/Black Keys/Flat Duo Jets guy. My third favorite album (after Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and The Doors' "L.A. Woman") is the Black Keys' "Rubber Factory."

Thanks a lot, man :D

Beatles, CCR, and Zeppelin? That's awesome!

And yeah, you bet! Even if I don't get famous, I'm gonna be a musician until I physically can't be one anymore, so before long I imagine I'll arrange something!
