Our son Logan has been taking voice lessons at a private music school since last summer. The school had their Winter Recital Saturday so Logan got a chance to show his chops in the singing business.
The program went from youngest to oldest. The younger ones were really young but they got through their pieces be it the guitar, or piano or a song and we, who didn’t know each other at all, were happy for the kids and their nervous parents and grandparents. As you would expect as the kids got older they displayed more polish and skill and a few had that “presence” up on the stage that hints at real promise. Remarkably there were only three boys in the entire program.
Logan came on toward the end and sang “Sit Down You Are Rocking the Boat” from the Musical “Guys and Dolls.” In my humble opinion (“IMHO” as the political facebookers say) Logan sang it very well. He had a microphone but he was one of the few kids who didn’t need one. He remembered his lines and sang his way through the piece with feeling and vigor and sat down. His Grandmother, (and world’s best MIL) Nana, has taught him to “sell” it whenever he performs. Heather and I are very proud of Logan. He loves singing and performing and it makes him feel good about himself and that is enough for us right now.
Applaud!!!! A wonderful performance. Love his dramatics and enthusiasm. A star is born!
Oh, YES!! This is terrific! I totally agree with Gaelyn!! BE PROUD!! And give Logan a hug from me!!
great performance. I enjoyed it immensely 🙂
Wish I could sing like Logan – I am absolutely tone-deaf. Nana’s done a great job and I haven’t a clue whether he had stage fright or not but, if he did, it certainly didn’t show.
@Leedslass – Logan has never been overly nervous in front of a crowd. I think it is part of his Asperger’s Syndrome where his self awareness is different from so called “neurotypical” people.
Great performance and what a fun thing for him to do. You should for sure be very proud.
Congratulations to Logan! I think it takes AMAZING confidence to stand up and sing in front of people. My daughter does it. I don’t know WHERE she gets it from :). Kudos!
Fabulous! After seeing so many wonderful photos of this beautiful young man, it is a real honor to hear his voice and see him in action. What a great job!
Let’s hear it for all those people teaching music for the sake of the art. They know what is possible, and they teach us to believe.
I came by to see if you had posted Logan’s performance. Now I’ve awakened my husband with my loud clapping. I was a bit nervous at first (as I always am for my own grandchildren), but Logan learned his Nana’s lesson well – he really “sold it!” Congratulations to him and to you!
Wow! I’m so impressed. (Love that musical and he did it proud!)
I’m pretty sure my nephew got all his talent from his mom’s side–none of us can sing a note. He did a fantastic job! I love the music from Guys and Dolls.
Bravo Logan!
