Orchestra Concert in Lubbock

I went to Lubbock to watch Joshua's String Orchestra perform on Monday.

                                       

It's difficult to see Josh in the photo, but he's smack dab in the middle.

Here's a photo of what he looked like close-up.

So handsome all dressed in black.

Like Johnny Cash.

Dressed in black that is.

Not handsome like Johnny because I think Josh is much better looking than Johnny Cash.

                                          

Hamming it up for the paparazzi.

  

And here's a photo of the ginormous pipe organ in the Hemmie Recital Hall.

I didn't get to hear it, but imagine the sound it makes is impressive.

Made me think of Grandpa James.

The 22 musician orchestra did a fine job and I am so pleased that Joshua is still interested in playing his violin.

Here would be the ideal place to put a music clip of the concert, but I am unable to do that for some reason. 

Bleh. Darn computer stuff.

Trust me. It was nice.

The week before Josh was at a restaurant and he had his violin with him. A family eating at the restaurant asked Josh if he would play Happy Birthday for one of the daughters. He did and the father gave Josh twenty bucks.

I love this story because it so much represents Joshua. 

He didn't play the song because he wanted the attention or to make money.

He did it because he is kind.

I love you Josh.
