Rebirth in America

Before the official performance, Alex still had to pass Bart and the others. After all, they had to go on stage together in the end. If something went wrong, it would be the Owls who would be embarrassed.

Bart knelt down, put his hands on Alex's shoulders, and said, "Are you ready? Relax and sing like you usually do."

Alex remained silent and nodded. He was carrying the guitar and was about to play and sing when Lao Qiao, who was standing aside, suddenly said, "How about you just concentrate on singing, and we will accompany you!"

Alex thought for a moment, shook his head, and refused. It was okay for him to carry the guitar on his back, but if he were to stand on the stage with his hands empty, it would make him feel uncomfortable. It would be great if he could dance. Even if he couldn't dance, it would be fine if he knew how to move. It's just that he doesn't know how to do these things. After all, this is his first time performing in public, so he should take his time.

He took a deep breath and played the guitar in his hand. After a few seconds, he no longer felt nervous in his heart. So he started singing. His voice was quiet and ethereal, full of emotion, making people feel that the soul was clean and the body and mind were naturally pure and beautiful.

When he came back to his senses, he saw shocked faces. They really didn't expect that Alex's singing voice could be so beautiful. Paul felt a little proud, after all, he was the one who taught Alex.

Dill was the first to react. He applauded and praised: "Okay, good singing! Let's sing one more, okay!"

Lao Qiao and the others also clapped together and asked Alex to continue singing.

Bart's happy and proud mood at that time simply cannot be described in words. He felt that his son was a genius!

Alex was encouraged and began to feel excited. This time he changed to another song, which Paul had also taught. His body was no longer so stiff this time, and he could still sway gently even while carrying a heavy guitar.

From his eyes, expressions and movements, everyone can see the confidence and joy he feels when singing. After singing, Alex bent slightly and saluted amidst everyone's applause. He felt that his heart was filled with a strong desire to perform, and he was also full of joy and confidence.

Suddenly, he felt that performing in public was no longer difficult. He gradually began to like this feeling, the feeling of being watched, applauded and cheered.

Everyone unanimously decided to let Alex be the lead singer of their "Owl" band! They believed that a lead singer who was only four years old and had such an outstanding singing voice would be able to captivate the audience.

However, before that, they still planned to let Alex practice more. When everything is ready, let Alex take the stage to perform and become famous in one fell swoop!

Under Paul's arrangement, Alex kept trying to perform in front of others. First in front of parents and people close to me, then in front of strangers. Finally Paul felt he was ready and took to the tavern stage.

The Owls warmed up before going on stage and asked Alex to wait below.

To be honest, their band level is completely amateurish. There were a total of four people on stage this time, Bart, Old Joe, Dill and Paul. Among them, Paul served as the lead singer of the band, so his singing voice was pretty good, while the others were not so good.

When "Owl" performs on stage, people don't pay much attention and just do whatever they have to do. The atmosphere at the scene was not good at all, it was as noisy as a busy city. The band was performing above, and the people below didn't even turn their heads to take a look. They completely regarded them as decorations and the sounds they made as background music.

After singing the song, Paul paused for a moment, then he approached the microphone and said, "Next, I would like to invite my four-year-old kid, Alex, to come on stage to perform for you!"

Paul's words attracted the attention of some people, but most people were still talking with their drinking companions. They didn't bring their spirit to the tavern stage.

When performing on stage, most people will be affected by the audience's attitude. Especially when performing in a crowded place like a pub, many people are unable to finish their first song. Alex originally thought that he was no longer afraid and would not be nervous, but he was wrong. As soon as he stood on the stage, he felt his legs were a little weak and his head started to feel dizzy.

Superpowers can only allow him to learn skills, but there is no way for him to overcome his psychological fear. In this regard, he must rely on himself.

Looking at the various drinkers below, smelling the unpleasant smell of smoke in the pub, and listening to the chaotic sounds, Alex's mind went blank. The voice he sang was so pitiful that even the people next to him couldn't hear it clearly, and Alex couldn't concentrate at all.

Paul had been staring at Alex for a long time. He saw that the situation was not good, so he leaned over and whispered in Alex's ear: "Close your eyes, don't look at anything, don't think about anything, just put it in your heart." Just sing it out."

When Paul said this, Alex immediately concentrated his mind, closed his eyes, and turned his attention to singing. He followed the rhythm of others and played the guitar. Gradually, his heart calmed down.

He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and he was going to sing "Over the Rainbow" from the movie "The Wizard of Oz."

At the beginning, the tavern was extremely noisy. When Alex's voice rang out, it was like a song coming from afar amid the noise. However, his voice is indeed very special and penetrating. The childish voice is like a clear spring in this messy environment, making people feel relaxed and happy.

One person turned his head to look for the source of the sound. Two people, three people, and soon everyone was staring at Alex on the stage. As he sang, the people around him gradually stopped talking, and they were all listening carefully. After half a minute, his voice was the only one left in the entire tavern.

It was a very simple song, and he sang it once, then a second time, and then the whole band sang it a third time. After three times, the whole place was shaken with cheers. People all stood up and applauded, and some even screamed: "Do it again!"

This was such a shocking scene that even Alex was stunned. He didn't expect that his singing voice would be so charming. Every applause was like a compliment, which greatly encouraged him physically and mentally.

Others were even more unbearable, and everyone was frightened by the audience's reaction. Even Dill was brought to tears by this scene, almost crying. The "Owl" band has never encountered such an intense scene. Even if there was applause, there were only a few scattered ones, and most of them were jeers.

"I don't know what happened. People's emotions suddenly boiled over, as if someone lit a big firecracker and threw it into the crowd." Many years later, Dill recalled the plot of Alex's first performance. At that time, he said so.

As Alex's first teacher, Paul felt very proud. Although he is not a good musician, he is able to teach such outstanding disciples.

Bart was even more excited. He once dreamed of standing on the stage and receiving cheers and applause from the audience. He didn't really experience it until now.

To calm the audience down, Alex sang another song. He also sang this song very well, and he slowly got used to the feeling of being on stage. He felt like he was a hypnotist, using his singing to tug at people's heartstrings and then control their emotions.

That night, Alex sang three songs in a row until his voice became hoarse. The patrons of the tavern threw the change in their pockets to the side of the stage as tips for him. After he got off the stage, when he passed by tables of guests, they all gathered around him enthusiastically, wanting to talk to him and shake hands.

The owner of the tavern immediately rewarded Alex with $10 and asked them to perform every night.

"If you are willing, I can sign a contract with you. I will give your band $20 for one night of performance!" the boss said to Bart and the others. Twenty dollars is a lot, equivalent to Bart's salary for a week. Even if the five of them share it equally, at $4 each, that is equivalent to their income from working in the factory for a day.

Bart quickly discussed with Lao Qiao and the others, and then decided to work for a month first. Most of their usual performances do not receive a fixed salary, and they basically rely on tips from the audience.

If the tavern owner gives us 20 US dollars, plus tips from the audience, we can probably make 50 US dollars a day. On average, the salary is US$10 per person, which is higher than the salary earned by working in a factory. However, this kind of income is not stable, and you don’t get that much money every day.

With this income, Bart and Alex make nearly $20 a day combined. They no longer have to worry about the expenses for the upcoming new member, and can further improve the family's living standards.

After a month or two of playing in the tavern, Paul knew there was nothing more he could teach the Carpenters. So he went to Carpenter's house that night to discuss something with Bart.

"Bart, listen to me, please listen to me! As long as you give Alex enough and correct guidance, I'm sure he will do a lot in the field of music! However, I can't lead him that far, you must please More professional teachers will come to teach them." Paul said to the Carpenters like this, looking confident.

"Well, a more professional music teacher?" Bart touched his chin, then thought deeply.

Angel didn't think much about it. She turned around and asked Alex, "Do you like music? Do you want to continue to learn more instruments?"

"I like it! I want to learn the piano!" Alex has always envied the protagonists on TV who can play the piano, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net Every time I sit in front of the piano, I play and sing affectionately, which is so cool. He firmly believes that many girls will like such a boy.

Bart himself loved music. Seeing his son's interest in music, he decided to spend some money from his little savings to hire a professional music teacher. He already had a plan in mind, a plan that began when Alex was still showing signs of musical talent.

He plans to directly hire a university teacher to teach Alex not only piano, but also other things. It would be best if Alex could be homeschooled so that he could save money and time at the same time.

He wants Alex to become a popular singer, release records, appear on TV, and act in movies! Not only Alex, but his unborn child also has such a plan. His unfulfilled dreams were fulfilled by his children. More importantly, singers can make a lot of money, even more than factory workers.

"Child! We will be watching you from now on. Our whole family will be watching you." Bart said to Alex solemnly.

Things were a little different than Alex imagined, but that was okay. He didn't want to think too much, and some things were left to others to plan. As long as he lives happily, since he has been reborn, why bother to work so hard. He had been tired for a lifetime and wanted to take a break.

Thinking of this, Alex no longer cares about Bart's thoughts, he just needs to play the role of a musical genius. With his ability, it is easy to play a genius.
