I've always wondered about Doug and magic and what would happen when you mixed that with magic music.
Like Alan Dean Foster's Spellsinger series.

In fact, there's some interesting lines of convergence here. Jon-Tom's from California and he uses magic based on singing and playing an instrument.
Hmm.
Or maybe the Spellsong Cycle by LE Modesitt, Jr. (a confession, other than Recluce I have a hard time reading any other works by him. Mostly because a lot of his protagonists are just so . . . horatio alger, free market libertarian ideals).
Or maybe Christopher Stasheff's A Wizard in Rhyme series (though how he'd deal with the whole "it's a world where Roman Catholic dogma is really real" thing, I dunno. Guess it's easier to deal with marginalized religions rather than still-popular ones), though these are just poetry-using magicians and not singing ones.
