Proud dad moment! 10 yo son's first perf. of an original!!

[Franklin]

My 10 yo son is a classic video game nut. Remember the original Donkey Kong consol game from the 80's? He wrote a song about the story. He wrote all the lyrics and his music teacher wrote the bridge and added music. This is from his school's spring concert:

He was nervous, so he didn't play the congo's properly or sing his parts well (can't even hear him) but I'm as proud as can be! Here's the poster for his band that he has with a couple of classmates, they call themselves The 8 Bit Band -I know it's taken.

Here's the poster:

I couldn't get the movie to load on my iPhone. It's probably my phone, but check the link anyway. I'd love to watch the clip.

Thanks guys!

Got the clip to work on my Mac and enjoyed it. I liked the beating on the chest part - very cute. (Hope his teacher didn't scam him out of the publishing.)

Update: The tune has been recorded in the studio and will be on iTunes soon!! There is also a music video in the works by some college student. I'll post a clip of the tune, and links to itunes and YouTube ASAP.

Wooo hoo!!

great! Get him to play in front of people a bit more and the shyness will probably go away. Maybe a mike at his level, also?
