Jon Schmidt

playing_with_toe_smallFor Christmas my parents took Me, Bry, Shell, Rich, Julia, and Jason to a Jon Schmidt concert on Friday last week. We got a sitter for Andrewbie and took Carter with us. It was a wonderful concert and very entertaining. The man can play! It really made me want to take piano lessons again – very inspiring. And he did play backwards, upside down, and yes…even with his toes! At the end of the concert be brought a family up on stage with four children and a mom. Come to find out their father/husband had been deployed in Iraq for the past six months and was coming home on Christmas. Well, this was planned ahead of time with the mom and they brought the father out on stage. What an amazing reunion to witness. I am so grateful for those who are off serving our country. We are so blessed!
