What's funny is, when he sang it (yesterday, on Sunday) I said, "alright son, you're going to have to sing your song today.."
To him, that's work? He was reluctant, until I reminded him "Son, daddy's been working on this for two months? And it's YOUR SONG!" At which point he relented.
So we got in the studio, and he sang it, after which I said promptly, "OK, now sing it again!"
And by take 5, I said, "let's do it again!" and he said "No..." And I explained that "it's work?" It takes multiple tries, you take a little from this one, and a little from that one?
He said "no." He said, "I've sang it enough, and it's not easy, you have to belt it out! And I'm tired!" LOL! hahaha, and he said do you sing it multiple times? I said, "why yes? I do each of my songs (many times...) and then take they best parts? That is how it's done?
He was surprised... But still refused to give me another take! LOL! I still cobbled together a pretty good track of him. It was funny though, "good times..." I hope he can look back at it with fond memories, I think he will.
