Last week we did a show and I asked Kayla to sing with me on stage. This would be her second time singing with me but this time it was a much bigger stage and a much bigger audience. There were even TV cameras for live video streaming over the Internet (no pressure).
Kayla did a marvelous job. She started singing her part at the right time, remembered all of her words, and sang on key. The only thing she could have done better was to relax a little and let some of that dynamic personality shine through.
A few days later during our singing group rehearsal, I asked Kayla to join us as we rehearsed our song. Tracy and I tried to coach her to loosen up a little and even get a little sassy with it.
A few nights passed and Kayla saw me starting this blog about my music. Always wanting to do something productive, Kayla ran and grabbed her Mom's iPhone. Ten minutes later she said to me, "Dad, I've started a blog..." She handed me the iPhone and this is what she wrote, verbatim:
Lil Singer
hi my Name is Kayla and I sing with my dad. The song we both sing together is I look like my father. My dad said every time I perform I get twenty dollars. I really am nerves each time i perform because its the dramatic sean my dad does. I get butterflys in my stomach and when he calls me ip I see the audience and I get a llitle nerves but when I get use to it I like to sing the song. My last performance was at Stronghold Christan Church. I had lots of fun and I got lots of support from friends and family and people I didn't even know. My sister video taped the whole performance. She said I looked so nerves and scared and then when I looked back at the video I had to agree with her. My mom and dad said I have to move a little but when they showed me what things I should do I said no thanks and i lost my intrests in the things they were tryin to show me. That's it for today, love you God bless you.
OK, so now I feel like Joe Jackson.
Keep us in your prayers.
Vincent
