Through his endearing interpretation of Folsom Prison Blues, a little boy who goes by the name “Little John” is responsible for ensuring that Johnny Cash’s music continues to be played. The fact that his voice is remarkably close to that of the great performer was shown by his rendition of the song in the year 2008.
A great number of individuals claim that they possess a voice that is reminiscent of a certain star; but, for a little child who goes by the name Little John, this is in fact the case. The crowd was struck dumbfounded by Little John’s incredible singing abilities during one of his performances.
Little John is now in the second grade. Due to the fact that the little child displays an endearing quality, the audience was already captivated by him before he even started singing the song themselves.
The sight of him playing the guitar, which seemed to be too large for his little hands, and his lovely little button-down blue shirt made him an adorable sight. Despite the fact that he had selected a challenging song to play, he was certain that he would be able to do it with elegance and talent. Despite the fact that Little John was going to put on an incredible display, nobody was prepared for it.
Before commencing to sing, he introduced himself as well as the songs that he was going to cover in the next performance. When the little kid declared that he was going to perform some Johnny Cash songs, everyone was taken aback. However, as he began singing, it became abundantly evident that these songs were destined to be sung by the voice of this young child.
During his singing, the little child seemed to be singing in a manner that was both natural and elegant, and the crowd was awestruck by his musical prowess. His voice could be heard emanating from every corner of the room, and it was obvious that he had been training for years, despite the fact that his skill level was far higher than his age.
His voice had an uncanny similarity to that of Johnny Cash himself, and his tone was kind and reassuring. But just when the audience was beginning to assume that that was all he had to give, Little John pulled out an even more impressive trick that he had been keeping up his sleeve. Halfway through one of his songs, he made the decision to vary things up a little and make the crowd go even crazy for his incredible ability.
Despite the fact that many were amazed that someone of such a young age could have such a presence on stage and such a remarkable singing skill, Little John was there.
Playground craze leaves 11-year-old boy “looking like an alien” – mom issues warning for parents
no to something that sounds dangerous.
Unfortunately, children are susceptive to peer pressure and the like; even the most intelligent of youngsters can be coerced andfmconvinced to partake in stunts that promise dire consequences.
Just ask the parents of 11-year-old Tyler Broome, who suffered horrific injuries after trying a YouTube craze known as ‘the roundabout of death’.
Yes, the name alone pretty much tells you the salient facts of the matter, but for Tyler it wasn’t so much an incredibly dangerous stunt as a way to show his friends how fearless he was.
The 11-year-old thereafter sustained injuries consistent with those seen in fighter pilots, after bein subjected to extreme gravitational force (G-force).
The craze he participated in – known as the ’roundabout of death’ – sees participants sitting in the middle of a playground roundabout whilst it’s spun at high speed using the rear wheel of a motorcycle.
Shortly after the ordeal, Tyler was found unconscious near the roundabout, left with possible damage to his brain and vision.
Extreme force
It’s believed he was subjected to the sort of G-force usually only encountered by pilots and astronauts.
It’s reported that Tyler was at a local park with a friend when they were approached by a group of older teenagers who dared them into the game.
Terrifying ordeal
“I don’t recognise my child – he is on the verge of having a stroke. Tyler sat on the roundabout, and the boy who came over was about 17. Tyler doesn’t know him, they are not friends,” his mom Dawn said, per British newspaper The Independent.
“He puts his motorbike on the floor, gets the roundabout spinning at such a speed. When they all stopped, the group just cleared off – it is bullying.”
Dawn claimed that hospital staff had never seen such injuries and had to do research before they were able to begin treating her son.
“The injuries were so extreme, he just looked like the Elephant Man. They have never seen it before, they are going to make a medical report from it.
“His head has completely swelled up, his blood vessels have burst, his eyes look alien. His vision is blurry. You can manage a broken arm but this? He doesn’t remember it, he doesn’t remember the detail.”
Parents, please always bear in mind that children are susceptible to trying things we adults would stay well clear of.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to young Tyler and his family. Share this story to spread the warning over an incredibly dangerous game.
