My son has been doing well with his music. The string quintet he is in performed at a birthday party at the local country club for an 80-year-old's birthday recently and also at a local fundraising event. They are booked in the near future for a wedding and three different Christmas events. (One of the Christmas events happens to be at our local library. I can't imagine how the group managed to get booked there! *Looking at the sky, and whistling innocently*) He is also keeping busy with the Toledo Youth Symphony, and his high school orchestra too.
I wanted to share with you this video of a duet he did with his girlfriend at her church with him on the upright bass (also called the double bass) and her on her violin. It is called, "Concertante." I missed the very beginning because the usher came around with the collection plate right at that moment, and I had to fumble in my purse for an offering instead of have the camera running. Oops! Ha ha ha!

Very beautiful! How awesome that they share such talent and love of music and share in church with their family and friends. Thanks so much for sharing the video.
Hmmmm....how did he get booked for the library?????? ha ha
HA! Well...MAYBE he knows somebody who works there who pulled some strings. ;)
Your son and his girlfriend are very talented ---both of them... That is such a great video. Thanks for sharing.
I know you are proud of them...
Hugs,
Betsy
Thank you, Betsy. I am proud of him. Both of them, actually. I appreciate my blog friends allowing me to brag on them a bit. :-)
That was so lovely. Thank you for posting. Like Betsy said, they are both very talented. And how wonderful that he and his quartet are getting booked so often. :)
Also, I must admit, I am always thrilled to see youngstas playing and appreciating classical music, which is such a huge part of my life and becoming far too obscure. It warms my heart, it does.
Thank you, Melissa. He hopes to have a career in music both in performing and perhaps teaching, so I try to encourage him as much as I can. He wants to pursue a degree in music when he gets to college. That is still a couple of years away, so he could change his mind by then, but right now he seems pretty sure about it.
Beautiful, Daisy! It's good to see them enjoying and participating in the finer things of life. You have every right to 'brag' about them a little!!
That was so beautiful... I know you are so proud! Great job!!
Daisy,
This is wonderful. It's great that these young folks are sharing their talents with others to enjoy. So glad they will be performing at the library.
How lovely. Seems as though word has got around about their talent, all those bookings.
Dorothy, Denise, Brenda, and Lynne, thank you all. I'm glad you enjoyed their music.
How'd he get the gig at the Library - I wanna know. LOL He is really good. loved the music they were playing.
Nice job. It was fun watching him play. You did a good job on the video.
Hi Becca! HA! Inquiring minds want to know. :D
Thank you, Sandy. I always feel like I'm moving the camera around too much and fumbling with it when I try to make a video. I think it's a good thing I don't have to make videos for a living. :)
Very impressive!
Thank you, Diana. :-)
