Talented Boy of the Day!

Introducing Allan From Trinidad & Tobago!

Every once an awhile a raw talent emerges from a corner in the globe that seldom gets any attention!  In fact many of you may have to stop and ask yourself, “Where in the world is Trinidad and Tobago?
Well, “Trinidad and Tobago” (pronounced /ˈtrɪnɨdæd É™n təˈbeɪɡoÊŠ/) is an archipelagic state in the southern Caribbean, lying northeast of the South American country of Venezuela and south of Grenada in the Lesser Antilles. It was only yesterday that I was introduced to this young little singer named Allan.  Allan has such a sweet personality that shines through his expressionism as he sings songs made famous by Billy Gilman and Michael Jackson.  His mother wrote a song in the calypso genre to help spread the message about Street Children that really touched my heart! Thank you Deborah!

I just had to share this video and wonderful find with all of you.  Watch as Allan sings his intrepretation of the song “Oklahoma” by: Billy Gilman.

Allan loves to sing and act and has been in 3 stage shows (all amateur productions). His first being Oliver in the musical (Oliver!), followed by Kurt in the Sound of Music and his most recent role was that of ‘Chip’ in ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
Allan plays the piano, keyboard, drums and the steel pan.
Allan has twin sisters, Genevieve & Kiona who also love to sing & are featured on the Family’s You-Tube channel from time to time.

While Allan is far from ready for any singing contracts or record deals and is still working on perfecting his singing techniques, his only dream is to sing and bless the world with his compassionate art of music.  If there is anyone who coaches children professionally who would be willing to offer some encouragement and pointers to Allen and his mother, please visit them on their You-Tube home channel.

A Weekend with Sam Verlinden

Sam returned to school this week with a full agenda not just for school but for his extra curricular activities as well.

Sam announced today;

“I’m back to school, Oliver rehearsals, Battle of the Band rehearsals, Touch Rugby Training and Christmas in the Park rehearsals”.

Goodness Sam! Don’t you ever take a break?
Well the answer to that is yes he did. While short, it was a much needed refreshing from the tedious grind that the past 2 months have afforded him.  You could say it was a last days of school vacation/birthday celebration.  Sam spent part of the weekend at a local Thyme Park with his two best mates Luke and Liam. It was a great time of just boys being boys!

When we think about Sam, we think about the bundle of talent he is! We see him on stage under the spotlight, on the television, entertaining for special events, entering and winning World Talent Competitions, creating new You-Tube videos, answering tons of Fan Mail, Busking (singing on the street)  on the weekends, on and on we could go! However it’s good to know that Sam every once and awhile can relax and just be a fun loving 12 year old boy!

The boys dressed for the cool morning air as they ventured around the park, rode some killer roller coaster rides, and once things warmed up enjoyed a cool ice cream treat.
