He's 9? Not 13 or 14 :-)

We did this today. He's going to sing it at the talent show (4th grade) It's a cover, but he's mixed up in there? And like the old man? He's a singer... ;-) And he's not bad :-D

It's at the top, called Payphone (one of his favorites)

I'm just so proud of him and glad that he's interested in music. I've always exposed him to it, but "tried not to push." Because if you push, "they'll pull..." He said out of the blue that he's doing a song (singing) in the talent show at his school (4th grade) and I said that's really cool! And he said yeah, maybe I could do it in your studio? So it was really cool because he's seen me in there, and knows what it's about. But I was able to comp his takes, and show him how I selected different parts, and which ones were good, and which ones were not, and why. And how I used envelopes, and FX? I kept him interested "for part of it." Which is is hard when you're 9. I think the bow and arrow today was a lot more interesting for him! Again, I am just so happy that he's interested in music. It requires both talent, and practice/patience. Some people just can't and never will be musicians or singers. Others have the natural ability, but may lack the patience and the passion to work at it.

What we do is actually quite rare and special. We are all very special compared to the masses...

It is so easy to stay on top on this forum? Like one post? So... Here it is? Too bad, it would be nice if more people posted and commented... It would be nice if I could get a date with a super model? But that ain't happening either...

He's 9? Aren't you sure?

Ha! Yeah I saw him come out. However the man always has to take it on faith that it's their child, the woman knows it's her child. But I'm a singer, and he's on the road, and he looks like me. So I'm 80% sure he's mine.
