A Private Performance

And now, Caleb would like to perform a song he wrote on the keyboard for you, and you only.

Program notes: Caleb is one of the youngest composers of his time. A self-taught keyboardist, he began before he could even sit up. He is known all over the Crackle universe, where his work was spotlighted on the "Family Friendly" channel. His compositions are very powerful and have been known to make people break down and weep.

"Caleb's Song"
Wandering through a creepy forest, a boy tip-toes through a bed of dry leaves. He ducks under branches and crawls over spongy, dead tree stumps. Suddenly, he jumps back! He hears a deep, low rustling noise. Could it be a bear?! His heart hammers in his chest. He looks right, then left. What was that noise?! Then, something flutters noisily from the ground up to a tree branch. The boys sighs with relief. It wasn't a bear after all. It was a little robin. He listens to the bird's even-toned voice for a while. Soon, another bird comes and sings a sweet duet with the first. As the birds' duet becomes more melodic and harmonious, the boy sings along for the dramatic finish.

How come all my kids do is bang on the piano as hard as possible, encompassing as many keys as possible, while the baby is trying to nap? Your son is brilliant.
