More of Him - Less of Me

• Jun. 11, 2008 Bluegrass Concert

Here's some pictures from the concert my son did on Saturday with the "Old Time Fiddler's Society", along with his teacher and another of his students.  Cody cracked us up because he said all the way to the concert, "I'm going to throw up."  He didn't, thank goodness, but he still looks like a deer stuck in the headlights in this picture!



Cody received a scholarship from the "Old Time Fiddlers" and that has been such a blessing.  He's learning more about the fiddle after playing the violin for about a year and a half.  He's been playing the mandolin for years, now, and it's his favorite.  This was quite a large group that played on Saturday.  I couldn't get everyone in the picture, but you get the idea.


The little girl standing next to my son is only 10 years old, but plays like a pro!  She is also a scholarship recipient. 



Here's a picture of my son with his teacher playing a duet they put together, "Nobody knows you when you're down".    Take a good look at that guitar Doug is playing.  Amazing!



Here's Cody during one of his solo's.  He's looking a lot more relaxed.



Here's Cody and Doug playing an old favorite, "Whiskey Before Breakfast".  Don't you just love those Bluegrass song titles?  (By the way, we do not recommend this.  LOL)


And finally, here's the two guys - student and teacher - friend and friend - after the concert looking very happy with themselves.  One of them actually looks relieved that it's over, too! 



I actually did video tape the concert and am thinking of putting one of the songs on YouTube if I can figure out how.  If I do, I'll let you know so you can go and see it! 

                                                               God bless you ~ Julie

It looks like your son did an awesome job with the concert (and kind of relieved it's over too.) What fun! I hope you can get the song uploaded for all of us to enjoy. Would you care if I added you to my friends list?

Hey Julie, just saying hi. Thanks for your comment a while back, on the common sense thing. We've been out of town for a few days, and here I am trying to catch up. Can I just NOT catch up? Could I just live the rest of my life BEHIND? Would it really make any difference if, for me, this is Tuesday, and not Friday? (Can you tell I am really tired?!?!)
I hear ya on the hot weather. We're up there, too. 100 something and promising to go higher this coming week, but I have to thank the Lord for the really nice spring we have had. This hot stuff normally comes several weeks earlier.
Hope you had a good week!
