Ben sings: There Is a Balm in Gilead
At last - thanks to the techno-savvy of Number 2 Son Matt - I am proud to post Number 3 Son Ben doing what he does best.
Ben's Senior Recital was held March 31 at the old Thomas Roads Baptist Church in Lynchburg - 90 glorious minutes of hearing my son sing solo - everything from Ialian opera to old spirituals.
Here is the one that made me cry:
Sometimes don't you just look at your husband and marvel together at how God blended your genes to create something so fresh and so new?

Barbara, Ben's voice is truly a gift from God. I got tears in my ears too! Thanks for sharing such a precious video! Julie

Ben has a wonderful voice, and how lovely to hear your son singing such beautiful lyrics!

Wonderful Barbara - God's gift.
(I also know there was a lot of hard discipline involved in honing!)
Tech-savvy Matt needs to obtain a computer interface and a decent condenser microphone to record Ben.
They both get experience - Ben gets to review his material and become accustomed to the recording process, and results can be used to open doors.
Matt gets a talented brother to work with, and gain recording experience in a practical sense.
Who knows - it might lead to nice income.
Thanks for sharing.

His singing made me cry too. What a voice. What feeling.
Praise God.

Absolutely beautiful! He has a real gift (and good looks, too!)
On April 18th, our family travels to Eastman School of Music to hear our oldest son sing a Master's of Vocal Performance recital.
He also wants to sing opera. Maybe someday Ben and my David will sing together and we can sit together and be proud! (at the Met) :-)
