PROFESSIONAL SINGER AMONG MY RELATIONS!

For all of you that don't FaceBook, Archer just got a PAID singing gig. He was given an honorarium of a couple hundred dollars but not surprisingly the choir is short on funds so he offered us about 300 in private lessons so we we eagerly took that deal. Of course we need to pay him his honorarium ourselves.

He needs some work on some particular isssues, mainly volume so we were glad to get the lessons, though. The song he sing ends on a B SHARP! so range isn't one of them. (The hymn books usually end on E for the sopranos, five notes lower).

Anyway this will be for Portland Mormon Choir, the MOTAB of the Northwest. I am trying to convince him to wear a tux because how many times is this going to happen? I suppose a lot if he decides to graduate to the Ovation group when his voice changes. But a 12-yr-old in a tux is adorable so I am going to go for it.
