A few nights ago we all received "tickets" from Christopher for a concert. In reality they were various Lego toys, but we are now accustomed to his imagination so we accepted them as his tickets. The event would start at 6:50pm, which was about 20 minutes away. About 5 minutes later he brought us each a blank sheet of paper. Autograph paper, just in case we were interested.
At the appointed time, we each turned in our "tickets" and took our seats in the family room, eagerly waiting to find out exactly what kind of concert this would be. Harmonica. Of course.
He had clearly been practicing. He had a range of notes that would make Clint Black jealous (or Bruce Springsteen - that should cover just about any musical taste).
He even had moves that I not sure Michael Jackson could pull off holding an instrument. At various points, he would walk around and "high 5" us as he was playing.
It was a pretty catchy tune and even James could visual a scene from what he was playing. Keith and I were simply mesmerized. He is truly an entertainer.
He even figured out that audience participation is a good thing and invited James to come up and make some music with him. He did give us each our own individualized autograph with some advice. "Hold on to these. They are one of a kind." I only wish I had taken some video to share. It was a hoot!
Do you think he would perform for us - a special Christmas concert?

I am sure we can arrange something. Are you sure you are up for it?
ReplyDeleteWhat about him doing one for Memorial Day? Maybe some good military tunes.

I'll see if I can get him booked. He has been walking around today with a glitter covered box (that locks) with everything he needs for his "concert." It has his harmonica, things to throw out into the "crowd" and I don't know what else. He loves an audience!
