 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! We do that, and throw knives, shoot the BB gun (Red Ryder - YOU'LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT! Yeah that one) And he's a blue belt in Taido (Japanese Karate) So they're going to call him "sir..." LOL! He actually has a really sweet disposition (unlike his old man, I guess he takes after his mother, err um, perhaps a distant relative in that respect?) I wish I'd have had him when I was younger, it's hard to keep up. But he's my reason for being. 

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...

Thanks Mike and Herb, I"ll let him know. He needs a boost, his mother is on the warpath over some school stuff.

This is excellent, I like your sons vocals and even though I wasn't listening to this track on my monitors.  The mix sounded pretty nice.  Good work.

Peace Ben

He's a good boy :-) He's not perfect, but who is? He makes me proud.

I still get good hugs...

Robby,
 
He has a really good voice, and good timing.   Good luck on the talent competition.  I am sure it will go well.  It is nice to have common interests with your kids.
 
Regards

  This reminds me of my nephew who is in the Philadelphia boys choir. When they are at this age they have pipes that will go away when the voice changes. A great opportunity to use those highs while he has them still.
 The song is well done. Great for his first tune. I can hear his vocal being a little more prominent in the mix but I'm sure this will come with time, a very minor nit to a  great job.
