Last month, Grace played in a piano recital where Jon Schmidt was the guest performer. I was impressed by both. Grace played with absolute confidence. She was front and center, with 20 other pianos on stage. And she shined - paying attention to the director, never missing a beat.
Jon Schmidt was showing off a bit (upside-down and hands-crossed). He played
this song and it was
incredible. I was completely mesmerized by this performance. Go
listen. You won't regret it. Mark's been playing this over and over lately. He was outside entertaining a 4 year old who could not sit still, so he missed this song and most of Jon Schmidt. He also missed a lot of cheesy amateur-hour jokes from the m.c.'s
(I have to use an apostrophe here, or it's completely confusing). Being outside was not all bad.
Speaking of sitting still, Grace's cousins sat through the concert much better than they sat for these pictures. "Don't move!"
