Who Knew?

As a youngster, Bruder detested music lessons.  Be it piano or clarinet, it was painful for all involved.  Then he took up the guitar and suddenly the stars aligned.   For Christmas, Santa gave him some recording software and today we listened to one of his original songs.  Lyle and I just sat in front of the computer with our mouths hanging open in total shock.  He can sing?  He can harmonize?  He can write music and lyrics?

How and where did he acquire these skills?

It's a mystery.

Take a listen:

When clicking on the video, it states that the video is private and requires an invite to view it.

But, I know exactly what you mean when you observe a gift in your children you did not plant there yourself.

Next? AI? :)

For some weird reason, it plays on the blog when I get to it from Firefox, but when I get there from Safari, it doesn't. Computers don't like me.

Oh my gosh! I just listened to it in my Google reader and it was SO good! He's REALLY good Eileen...on both the guitar AND singing :) Thanks for sharing!

He did that all by himself? Nice!

Eileen said...

Yes, he did it all himself. I think he said he combined something like 8 tracks. I'm glad he got the recording program and equipment all figured out because we weren't going to be much help!

WOW! Very nice. He sounds great. I'll have to let the kids hear him... he's really good.

That was amazing! He is really talented. I think you better worry about a bunch of groupies banging down your door in the near future Eileen.

Wow he is really good!!! He did not get those skills from the Kelley family, thats for sure!!!

Tammy said...

He totally inherited the singing ability from his Aunt Cari! Have you heard her karaoke? :)

WHA???????????????? Oh my goodness, Eileen...that was so good. He is so great on the guitar and what's with all the harmonizing??!! I couldn't do that in a million years. Wow..so cool.

I might add...it is a very catchy tune! Look out Jericho Road...here comes Bruder!!

I hope my children are as awesome as your children.
'Bruder' is gonna be a heart breaker. I can just see him now on the coast with his guitar and his girl, sweeping her off her feet with his songs. I might just go out and buy a guitar-you never know what might happen!
