On With the Show

SHOW TIME: Today we had two main items on the agenda. First and foremost was get the kids' songs dialed in for the show tonight. Second was making treats to share this evening. The cookies and deviled eggs part was easy. You don't have to be in the correct pitch and tempo for those. ;)

At one point today, I wished the kids had picked less ambitious songs. Perhaps something by Everclear or Green Day - you know, something with two or three easy chords. But no, that was not their path. Instead, it was something a tad (well, light years) more ambitious for their public debut - Imagine Dragons and Pink Floyd. 

It was cool that Rick and Kennedy were able to come to the show and serve as stage techs. :) They couldn't ask for more experienced hands!

Annabelle was up first, singing "Radioactive." 

She did a great job. :) 

CJ came up after with the even more ambitious 'Time' by Pink Floyd. Get this - we got to the performance venue a little early tonight, so we went to a nearby place for a quick snack and drink. While we sat there, what song of all songs in the history of everything came on? "Time," by Pink Floyd. The song CJ would be performing in a few minutes. Talk about Kismet. Crazy, isn't it? I mean, in the history of all songs EVER, that's the one on in the Shoreline diner? What are the odds? (Wait - sounds like a good math problem to us!  Stay tuned!)

Here's a still shot of CeeJ, and here's his performance.

As he listened to it, he ran into the room and said he was embarrassed how bad it sounded. We told him not to fret too much - it was recorded on a crappy cell phone microphone. 

I'm glad he cared how it sounded. That's the whole point.  ...
