The time he sang with the band: An Alec Tale

At two, Alec was talking. At three he knew his alphabet and how to spell his name. At four he knew how to read.

The time he sang with the band he was three and had just learned how to sing his ABC's.  Brent and I frequently sang with our church spirit band.  On this particular Sunday, the kids were hanging out while we practiced before church.

Before we knew it, Alec had a live microphone in his hands and started singing - in pitch mind you - the ABC's.  The next I know our accompanist Kent picked up the note and tempo and started accompanying Alec.  Then Dave our drummer joined in.  Man, did Alec beam from ear to ear!  He was singing with his own band!

Well, that ruined him for weeks.  How does a three-year-old become a diva?  He refused to sing anything in the mic again unless the mic were live and the band played along.
