I made him middle-aged, and more of a storyteller/loremaster type than singer.

How 'bout an elven sorcerer? Other than the "unlikely because they have CHA penalty" Half-Orcs and Dwarves, I can't think of anyone less likely. Elves typically arrive at magic through study, as reflected in their favored class of wizard. While Gnomes also have a favored class of wizard/illusionist, they have innate magic, which I argue is an indication that sorcery is not uncommon among them.

Half-orc illusionist! 
Or even better, pair him up with a gnome barbarian as a duo.
And then you could round out the party with another duo: a dwarf ranger and his elf paladin sidekick!

Half-orc paladins are the best.
I played one, and had a blast!

The dwarven Monks are a lot of fun. There's a feat in a semi-recent Dragon Mag about a feat availible only to Dwarven Monks, which allows them to strike with both fists for 1.5X Str damage bonus.
Personally, I don't think you should really have to take a feat for it, as long as it's your only attack, but whatever.
I also really like the Goblin Paladin. Imagine them, with their riding bonus, and a Blink Dog mount! That'd be a ton of fun!

My wife plays a half-orc Paladin, and she deals out ungodly amountd of damage. She is the front-line fighter in our 20th level game. She's not so hot on the spellcasting and turning, but boy can she hit hard!
I played a halfling Paladin (one of two in that game) and they are surprisingly effective. Being able to have a Medium bonded mount works very well for dungeon crawling. Lance charge from dogback anyone? This would also work even better with a Gnome, I think.
I tried a Dwarven Sorcerer once. Didn't work well.
An Elven Monk works very well. The alignment means they are rare, but the Dex bonus is a great thing.
Half-Orc Rogues make great thugs. Give 'em a greataxe and flanking, and they can do icky things.
Half-elven Cleric. Everyone expects the Half-elf to be the loner type, a half-elf who spends her time healing and buffing others to try to gain acceptance could be interesting. Same for a Half-Orc.
Dwarven Monks could be frightening. The Dwarf stat penalty fits the Monk well, as does the Half-orc one, and the speed defecit is offset by the Monk class.
Just some ideas.

The halfling necromancer has to be a prize-winner! Of course, the elf paladin is great too, as are your dwarf and gnome ideas.
