I missed Andrew's encore performance at the Music of the Mountains theatre. Apparently, I missed a lot but Andrew was not upset at all. He jammed with the Melodie Clemmons band before the performance. A group of cheer leaders became his groupies and he was as happy as a pig in a mud hole.
Shown here is a page from Avenues, A Magazine of the Ozarks, about Andrew's first performance. And I quote, "Andrew Williams, the 14-year-old blues guitarist who won Melbourne's Student Talent contest, played a couple of blazing numbers. It was his first time to ever play with a band, but he came through like an experienced pro." First time, he played AC/DC and a blues number. Second, he played one of his own songs and, of course, AC/DC.
Since this performance, he has played a birthday party as a gift, won the Izard County Fair Talent Show in his division, has been invited to play at a local customer appreciation day, and to compete in a Hardy, Arkansas Talent contest...when he's not playing football and going to school.
My middle grand son, Jake, has been gifted a horse he has named Johnny. I have promised to come see Johnny and so I shall today. I am sure I will have many pictures to share after that visit!
I am thinking, what have I missed telling? The ice maker's still working, to hubby's and to all our delight. We are uptown now...no more dumping ice trays. No more trying to find out who did not fill them! I may be loosing my mind because many things happen around here that no one lays claim to doing. I guess, I must be doing it in my sleep...right!
We got some glorious rain last night. As the thunder rumbled and the lightning flashed, I realized why every bone in my body was aching...I can tell the weather now, and for that I am grateful. Might as well be, not a whole lot I can do to change it.
It has been a joy catching up on all my comments. Thank you and remember if you would like to converse, leave your email, I can not reply to No Reply Comment Blogger...and I do like to reply! Have a wonderful Sunday.
