Tonight our FHE (family home evening) group was planning to go to a Jon Schmidt concert. Everybody felt they had too much homework except for Jerry and me, so it was only the two of us that attended. Which is too bad.
IT WAS AWESOME!
We got there about 45 minutes early, bought our tickets, and then stood in line to get in. We were near the front of the line. As soon as we got in line about 300 more people got in line behind us, so we came at the perfect time. We got into the theater and sat down almost on the front row right in the middle. They pulled the piano out and we realized that we would be 20 feet away from him at a perfect angle to see his hands play the piano. The music was incredible and impeccably presented. He is not just a piano player: he is an entertainer. We laughed when he did a backflip, when he told his corny jokes, and when he played the piano laying down on the bench under it and when he played with his toes and head. He played a song that I'd never heard before that was awesome that he said was new and was coming out soon. He played all of the favorites and then a few more.
It's really too bad that nobody else could go. It was totally worth the measly $10 a ticket to see.
Afterwards I got to see Janessa because she was up here in Provo for a Leadership Academy field trip thing. That was fun too.
