Ethan Sings DesperadoEthan's favorite song right now is Desperado, by the Eagles. He loves it and can't stop singing it. It's what he requests every night before tuck-in. Anyway, tonight I asked if he wanted to perform for the world to see, and he was happy to sing in front of the camera. He doesn't know all the words though, and he asked us to teach him the rest. First we need to learn them, 'cause I really have no idea.
1) Ethan, that's great!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're a rock star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss you so much, sweetheart. Be a good boy and help Mommy and Daddy. ! Tuesday, October 21, 2008

5) Dave, Did you get a road bike??grantdeatonWednesday, October 22, 2008
6) he is so smart and cute!AmberWednesday, October 22, 2008
7) Grant - yeah, I got a sweet road bike. It was five bucks at a garage sale. I actually bought it to turn it into some sort of yard art, but it turns out the bike is really good for collecting dust. Who knew.Dave HeinzelWednesday, October 22, 2008
8) That was wonderful! I can't believe he knew most of the song! You rock Ethan!!!! sandy Davis Wednesday, October 22, 2008
9) Nice work Ethan! I'll take you to Coyote Joe's next time you come visit. That's your kind of place.Denny DeatonWednesday, October 22, 2008
10) Wow - he is adorable!! Unreal that he knows the songjustmegWednesday, October 22, 2008
11) Holy crap... he really is AMAZING! Can't he go on Oprah for something like that?CarrieWednesday, October 22, 2008
12) That is great!!!!!!!! Ethan is such a ham!StapeWednesday, October 22, 2008
13) I think Ethan is a music prodigy. First the piano and Mr. Rogers and now Desperado! Hope Dylan is working on the drums--sounds like the Humzoo Band will be getting gigs any day! Great job, Ethan!!LGrantWednesday, October 22, 2008
14) Dave, as I am a music teacher, I think you really need to get him involved in some sort of music lesson. Whether voice or piano, it doesn't matter. Ethan has some serious talent. Only sign him up if he's game, though.fritzWednesday, October 22, 2008
15) Awesome Ethan!! Now I'm going to have to keep my eye out for a Eagles t-shirt (insert line from the Big Lebowski here).Emmy AnnWednesday, October 22, 2008
16) Even The Dude would love that version. Ethan, you are the man!RussWednesday, October 22, 2008
17) You're right Russ...the Dude would love it, who couldn't?Emmy AnnWednesday, October 22, 2008
18) That just makes me smile all over.pegiWednesday, October 22, 2008
19) Good story...
The kids and I just went to Washington park. A young kid in a local jr. high t-shirt came up to me and asked if I am "Mrs. Heinzel." I almost laughed at him. But I admitted that I was, and I asked how he recognized me/us. He said he recognized Ethan from his videos. LOL!
It turns out, he and his brother have met "Mr. Heinzel" (I can't help but laugh at that) through the district and are hoping to help Dave with some video stuff.
My kid is totally famous.
And on an unrelated note: Ethan is currently singing a song he made up. The words are "Barack Obama. Barack Obama! Barack Obama. Barack Obama!" It's to the tune of "Skip to my Lou."Courtney HeinzelWednesday, October 22, 2008
20) OK, so Ethan and Galvin should get together, totally. Ethan memorizes all of the words to songs and is quite musical, and Galvin memorizes all of the words to books and dialogue on some of his favorite television programs, like Ni Hao, Kai Lan and Yo! Gabba-Gabba!
PS. Love the video, Ethan!AngiWednesday, October 22, 2008
21) fritz is right. Pile as many instruments as you can in Ethan's room. He has incredible pitch, and a remarkable memory. You're either born with it or not, and I would say that he was born with it.mattpikeWednesday, October 22, 2008
22) Awesome job Ethan! Made my day!AmesWednesday, October 22, 2008
23) Awesome job, Ethan!! I'm with fritz and matt...get that kid some music lessons!!
p.s. We (the dogs) were recognized in Washington Park one day from the gotshoo. Weirded me out slightly.Sarah S.Wednesday, October 22, 2008
24) Kati Day once recognized Dave from the internet before he knew her. She was working at a fabric store we went to one time. It was wild!Courtney HeinzelWednesday, October 22, 2008
25) My jaw is hanging down to the floor. I can't believe he not only knew most of the lyrics, he kept the tune throughout. Amazing! The best parts were the tap dance toward the beginning and the really high notes. I laughed out loud. Hey Ethan...you can't see me, but I'm clapping really loud for you. BRAVO!!!LeslieWednesday, October 22, 2008
26) I saw you Heinzels at the mall one day and I almost said Hi like you were one of my friends and then thought, oh wait they don't know me.
I agree with everyone. Ethan definately has some talent. Cora loves to sing and has no problem remembering all of the words to a song, but I'm pretty sure she will never be an American Idol. :)franklinsWednesday, October 22, 2008
27) This is GREAT on many levels! What child his age knows The Eagles? And knows them well?
PLEASE tell me you're going to keep this and bring it out on any of the following occasions:
Prom night.
18th or 21st birthday.
Wedding night.
When your first grandchild tells you his/her dad just isn't cool.
Oh the possibilities... emilypenning Thursday, October 23, 2008
28) *single tear*
This is so awesome. I know what somebody's getting for Christmas!!!!
Side Note: Dave, I need suggestions for tomorrow's Humzoo Luncheon. I am bad at the "Pick a Place" game!BetsyThursday, October 23, 2008
29) That rocked. Now the song is stuck in my head. Thanks, Ethan!JoelThursday, October 23, 2008
30) Joel, glad someone else had that problem. I was singing it all day yesterday. LOLLGrantThursday, October 23, 2008
31) Imagine, then, what I am going through. He sings it all day long, and I stay home with him.Courtney HeinzelThursday, October 23, 2008
32) LOL, Courtney...my sympathies. :)LGrantThursday, October 23, 2008
33) That is the cutest thing ever! I can't believe how well he sings and knows the song. Way to go, Ethan! :)JennFriday, October 24, 2008
34) Ethan did an amazing job with that song! I love his stage presence. And I have technical envy over the lighting and microphones and whatever else you have going on there.ChinaCallingFriday, October 24, 2008
35) Dylan loves this video. She says Ethan every time and smiles and laughs. I think she has a crush.
Great job Don Henley, Jr.nikiFriday, October 24, 2008
36) Ethan you really have "it:. Sign that young man up for the next all boy band!dannieFriday, October 24, 2008
37) Ethan discovered a juke box today, and you'll never guess what song he found to play...Courtney HeinzelFriday, October 24, 2008
38) Ethan did a good job at singing. Now lets watch another Ethan - Cora.franklinsFriday, October 24, 2008
39) I'm thinking you should send a copy of this video to the Eagles. They might enjoying seeing one of their youngest and most devoted fans in action. :)LGrantSaturday, October 25, 2008
