Pacbell, Canon in D

One thing about living hundreds of miles away from family is this, they never get to attend the plays, concerts, ball games, recitals or what ever of my kids. That has always made me sad as I sit and watch other Grandpas and Grandmas and Aunts, Uncles and cousins fill the rooms.

One good thing about having a blog, family can now see these things- if I remember to take the video camera with me. And last Friday night, I did remember.

The woman I have sharing the frame with Jacob is his wonderful piano teacher, Wanda Orr. She is also my wondeful visiting teacher and friend. She had Jacob perform last. He started piano lessons 2 years ago, when he was in 5th grade. Within 6 weeks of starting, he had finshed the entire book that she started him in. She does group lessons and everyone else in the group was still on lesson 3 or 4. The boy amazes me. In the next couple of weeks, I will post his performance with the jr. high percussion ensemble. (if I remember to charge and take the camera).
