..because here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjAmWO0h9R8&feature=youtu.be s something that certainly cheered my up; my daughter and grandson having a sing. The track is a backing track; the voices, their own. Considering they were just messing about, and hadn't rehearsed at all, I think it's brilliant!

Well, you can safely put those humbugs back in the cupboard, Frances. What a fantastic Christmas present and what wonderful voices. That brought a tear to my eye and my friends will tell you - I never cry!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy. I didn't cry, but have to confess I was surprised that they pulled that off more or less spontaneously!
DeleteThey really are VERY good. I'm not surprised you're proud of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, CM. I am!
DeleteThat's wonderful! What a voice your daughter has!
ReplyDeleteThanks, DT. She's only discovered her voice fairly recently, and now wishes she'd had some training earliier on.
DeleteGreat stuff! What a pair of stars they are.
ReplyDeleteYes - a duo that surprised me!
DeleteBrilliant!!! Has your daughter learn to sing (or inherited her great voice) from you, Frances?
ReplyDeleteOne day, when your grandson will be grown up, he'll look at this again and realize how very, very precious this time with his mother was. From the way he acts, I guess he already does know that this is something to cherish.
She's taken it up as a hobby fairly recently, Meike. She sings a lot in the car with the children, which helps! As for me, no. I can't sing like that (if only...), but I do enjoy singing in our very good church choir.
Delete"Brilliant" is a serious understatement!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim.
DeleteWow. I couldn't resist leaving a comment on YouTube. What a great rendition of a super old favourite. I enjoyed it tremendously.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that seat they're sitting on. It looks like it's a cozy nook in the kitchen. Is it?
And yes, did your daughter inherit that powerful voice from you? I think she looks a bit like you, but I didn't have the video and your photo side by side to compare properly.

Thanks for the comment, Kay. Yes - they're are on a small window seat in the kitchen. People say my daughter is like me, but of course we can't see it. Can one ever?
DeleteA Christmas present that no money could ever buy. Such a precious moment and such skill and concentration without showing any difficulty: I found it hard even to concentrate enough to sing descant so appreciate that a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks, GB. What is nice is that it was spontaneous and unrehearsed, and they were (and look as though they were) having fun.
DeleteI like to imagine you singing a descant...
one for the memory bank
ReplyDeleteThank you, L.

ReplyDeleteJust what I thought, Libby. Thank you.
DeleteThank you , Patsy.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the video clip. You have a very talented daughter and grandson. They'd cheer anyone. I can see you're on your way to a very happy Christmas after all.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Best wishes to you, too, Fanny.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to all.
Thanks, Mc.Gregor!
DeleteWow Frances - that is wonderful! What terrific voices - I loved every minute :-) x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Teresa. It surprised me, too!
DeleteOh, wow, Frances - that was fabulous! Your daughter has a terrific voice and the whole video with your cute grandson deserves to go viral! What a lovely gift.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary. I think I'm getting a parcel as well (well, I hope I am!). The cute grandson is totally bewildered by my enthusiasm. But I guess that's men (boys)...
DeleteA WOW from me too Frances. I can understand how you are so proud, brilliant it is, brilliant they are.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Anna :o]
Thanks, Anna. You have a good one, too.
DeleteWell, I wasn't expecting that. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, neither was I! Tthank you.
