["Bob Laughlin" <rlaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 19 year old plays classical guitar, performs, gigs, etc..

He's been trying out singing since last semester, and picked "Jumpin Jack
Flash" for an assignment. They get two chances, one before and one after
critique by the instructor. His instructor said he needs to "force it out"
more with his abdomen (diaphragm). He tries hitting the notes, like hitting
the notes on guitar, accurately, but it doesn't have the power, or the
"crazy" that Jagger conveys. He's a relatively quiet kid. Nice, quiet,
polite, but personable. I've told him that he needs to learn "crazy", like
Jagger, or Joe Cocker, waving arms, hands, and such antics to go along and
maybe help the tones come out. It's the same with harp. He's tried harp
some, but hasn't yet learned to use his abdominal muscles to get "the tone".

This Bowskill kid,,he seems to have picked up this skill in his singing.
