We had a busy weekend, with one very sad event that I will talk about in my next post. On Friday night, Shane sat in as a professional drummer with the Memorial High School orchestra. A friend of ours is the conductor. Shane played drums on one instrumental song and another song with two guest musicians, our worship pastor Paul and one of the praise team singers, Courtney. I wish I had a recording of that. They sang The Prayer, partly in Italian, and it is a beautiful song. Shane sat in the back behind the orchestra. We couldn't see him, just hear him. Jacob was a trooper for the most part. One song was very long and he kept saying "Man, this is a long song. When is it gonna end?" jut a little to loud.
On Saturday morning, Jacob had his drum recital. Jacob has been taking lessons for three semesters now. The semesters follow the school year. We do struggle getting him to practice and sometimes think about not letting him take lessons the next semester. But he begs us to let him continue. So, we do. We don't want him to get burned out but he loves it. It usually takes a recital for us to realize just how well he is doing. We are so proud of him. Most people are amazed that he plays that well for a seven year old. Anyway, here is the link to YouTube. Randy, no comments on how long it is, please :) I did have some technical difficulties with my new camera but I managed to record most of it.
