"He just turned 10. Sipping a root beer in the Sullivan family's modest raised ranch in a quiet New Bedford neighborhood, Quinn seemed like any other fourth-grader, albeit one who wears a buckskin shirt and neck beads. He likes riding bikes, playing ball, and watching "Family Guy" with his friends; he has to do his homework and not talk back; for his birthday on March 26, he got a six-barreled toy dart gun, a squirt pistol, and a bowlful of Smarties, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Swedish Fish. But put a guitar in his hands and he can channel Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix or Duane Allman."
