In the world of parenting, moments with your children are often fleeting and precious. Every milestone they reach signifies a step toward independence, which can feel bittersweet. Yet, these moments also present opportunities for bonding. A recently viral video highlights just such a moment between a dad and his son, showcasing their shared passion for music.
Meet Ethan and Oliver
Meet 38-year-old Ethan Rogers and his 6-year-old son, Oliver. According to a report from Local News, this dynamic duo has a strong affinity for Frank Sinatra’s music. “Whenever we’re driving, we can’t help but belt out his classics, and Oliver loves it,” Ethan shares. “He knows all the lyrics now, and it’s a joy to sing together.”
The video captures the father-son pair delivering a flawless rendition of “Me and My Shadow” in their car, which is likely the reason it caught so much attention online. One can only imagine how many practices it took to perfect their performance—or how many times Oliver had to brush off mistakes—but those moments spent together are what truly matter. The result? A delightful duet that showcases Ethan’s impressive vocal skills.
A Musical Family
Interestingly, Ethan isn’t just a casual singer; he performs in a local swing band called The Blue Notes. He posted the video as a lighthearted jab at a band member, joking that his son might outshine them in the Sinatra department. Given their performance, it’s not hard to believe.
As a father of a five-year-old myself, I understand how challenging it can be to keep them engaged, especially as they grow more independent. Kudos to Ethan for finding creative ways to connect with his son and for instilling a love for classic music. Sharing your passions with your children—be it Sinatra, rock, or hip-hop—can be one of the most rewarding aspects of parenting. Just recently, during a drive, I played the Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine,” and witnessing my son sing along to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” felt like a significant parenting win.
Musical Challenges
However, not every musical moment goes smoothly; I also faced a chorus of complaints when I attempted to sing along with the Hamilton soundtrack. But, at least I can rest easy knowing he appreciates good music.
