Ok, here's my off-beat suggestion... If he has a sense of humor, check out
this auction on EBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231788022 It's an
autographed photgraph of Luciano Pavarotti and it's kind of goofy looking -
he's wearing some kind of fru-fru costume, smiling really big and beating a
huge drum. This would be a good one to frame and hang to remind us all to
smile and not take ourselves so seriously. That message would be the best
gift ever for a young singer.

ps: The auction is over in 11 hours so move fast if it's up your alley - I
think it's about 25$. There are no bids at the moment, though, and usually
you can contact a seller who failed to sell an item and work out a deal
afterwards, if you miss it during the actual auction, as long as no one
bids.

Good luck!
Jessica
