Forgive Me For Beaming, But...

I hope you all will forgive me for beaming with pride, but I wanted to share with you some of the music I heard this past Sunday. My younger son played his upright bass in the local high school orchestra concert that day, and I was in attendance. His girlfriend, also in the orchestra, played the violin. They were in their formal wear for the performance as you can see.


I made videos of three of the four songs they played during the concert. My son is in the back on the right hand side of the stage playing the upright bass. You can see just the top of his head occasionally above one of the music stands. His girlfriend is seated, playing the violin, just to the left of the director in the middle of the stage if you want to watch for her when I turn the camera over in that direction.

The quality of these videos, taken with our inexpensive camera by me---the one with NO camera skills, is poor at best. I think I managed, unknowingly, to cut off the beginning of one of these songs and the ending of the other. Oh well. It is what it is.

The music is good, though, so maybe you will prefer to just listen instead of watch these. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. I hope you will enjoy the music too.

My son will be performing with the Toledo Youth Orchestra this coming Sunday for the very first time. He is quite excited about it. (I am too!) I'm out the door now to go and pick up my older son so he can come home from college for the weekend. He wanted to come home so he could go to his little brother's concert too.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!
