Tallan 'T-Man' Latz has been tearing up the bar circuit to the delight of patrons everywhere. Not so happy is 'the Man', authorities who want to see the pint-sized guitar strummer banned from bars until he hits drinking age. Right now Tallan T-Man Latz hasn't even hit puberty, so this would put a hurtin' on his burgeoning career.

Right now the T-Man is singing the blues because authorities in Wisconsin don't want the kid to perform in bars anymore. Some folks suspect the complaints came from jealous older musicians who can't bring a crowd the way the T-Man does.

His father got a letter from officials in Wisconsin barring the boy's access to his livelihood.

"He goes, 'It's not how many times you get knocked down but it's how many times you get back up and go forward,' Carl Latz said the T-Man told him. "And I told him that's exactly what this is all about and if nothing else this letter just taught you a life lesson."

No matter what the authorities say, little Tallan is sticking with his dream to be a performer.
