My son an I cover a James Bay song
My 12-year old son sings "Hold back the river" and I try to strum some guitar ;-)

Bravo - that was beautiful! I wouldn't expect any harsh reviews! Louis has a beautiful voice and really knows how to use it, which is just as important. I assume that he must have learned to sing like that from his dad?! And just lovely that it's the two of you performing together.
BTW - your English is amazing, Jimi, but Louis sounds absolutely like a native speaker - too cool! Keep it up you guys!

Thanks a lot for your great feedback! You know it's been a long time since we made music together for the last time. Louis is singing in a band and in a church choir so our "let's jam together" moments became rare recently :-(
Indeed he can controle his voice pretty fine and I hope he will not lose motivation - 12 is a difficult age, we all know :-)

Sehr gut!(or should it be "viel gutes"?)
Wow, what a beautiful voice your son has. I can see (hear) he has a singing future if he so desires.

Thanks my friend! Sehr gut is absolutely correct :-)

Normally when someone posts a "hear my child sing" video, my eyes almost immediately start to roll. In this case, I definitely make an exception. You can tell that your son has been in a choir because he has good command of his voice, especially for a 12 year old. Keep encouraging him. As was said before his English is excellent as well. He really seems to have the Sprachgefuehl, if I can mix languages like that

My kids can chose their paths on their own. There's always music around in our home and this was a Sunday afternoon jam before we went to have dinner. I have uploaded this to YouTube because my son wanted to show it to some friends.

What a great moment. Gotta cherish those. My son and I had some fine moments playing guitar together, just not enough. Now he's off making his way in life teaching in the UK. I wish we had seized more chances to play together. Hope you grab every one you can get.

That was great! It is always so special to be able to create music with your kids. I have a some videos with my daughter on youtube, but no singing... your son has a great sense for time and pitch. He's gonna be an awesome musician!

Thanks a lot for the compliment. I sometimes ask him to sing a line when I check a new idea for the band. You know, puberty makes these moments rare but he's surely gonna stay true to the music....can't stop singing, this little fellow :-)
