Callie Bates playing piano
"This is called a baby grand. It's the grandest thing we ever seen."
-Gil Bates
Not only does 10-year-old Callie Bates look like a mini Erin Paine, but she also shares her older sister's love for piano. She may be 18 years younger than Erin, but she is quickly becoming quite the pianist.

MO- So Sweet! Callie, your piano playing sounds terrific! Keep playing! I just sold my Yamaha piano due to down-sizing, it was a sad day. Both my boys played when they were young. Such wonderful memories! :o)
ReplyDeleteI can relate. I’ve never felt sad about a material thing except when I had to give away my piano when I moved out of state two years ago.
DeleteI can't wait to hear her play on Thursday!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as i seen the pic.. i thought lil Erin.
ReplyDeleteI wish uptv would share more of Zack, Erin, Carlin, Callie and others I havent heard playing piano.That's not a easy task..
ReplyDeleteI just love Callie's spunky little personality! It certainly seems like she's going to have musical talent all her own!
ReplyDeleteI look musical instruments played by kids We can't afford lessons for our girls. They can sing too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy the churchis done
ReplyDeleteShe plays well.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear more....That was beautiful!
ReplyDelete"I gotta go pay the man." Lol! I love Gil. And him walking in on Callie playing so beautifully makes everyone tear up, not just him! Love this ❤️
ReplyDeleteThe cameras were running, and they were wearing mics! (That's why you could hear him so clearly) He didn't "accidentally" walk in on anything.
DeleteI don't think Callie and Erin look alike. Callie's hair is blond and her face is totally different. Erin is a brunette (though she colors her hair blonde) and has a much rounder face. They are both lovely, though.
DeleteErin was dying her hair as a teen? I don't think so.
DeleteLots of the Bates girls dye their hair as teens! Look at Katie. She was a brunette and now she's a blond.
DeleteMany of the Bates girls had blonde hair as toddlers and young children that grew darker as they grew up. (look at Alyssa, Addallee, Josie, and Katie). Erin has highlighted and colored her hair for quite a while. Her eyebrows and roots are evidence of this.
DeleteCongratulations Callie you are a wonderful piano player.
