Concert!!



On Thursday night, my dad and I went to a Jon Schmidt concert near our hometown.  It was amazing!  The guy is crazy good, and it made me want to practice my piano like a madman.  He played upside down (like above), and with his head, elbows, and toes, too.  It was an amazing experience, and he was hilarious, too.  

His dad (a 85ish German guy who was drafted into Hitler's army) got up during the middle and told jokes.  They were great.  All of the songs were amazing, too.  I don't get how he is able to make them all up in his head.  

My favorite song that he performed was "Love Story Meets Viva La Vida" which he can't play anywhere else due to permission complications, but played at the concert anyway.  

Another cool one of his songs was called "Heart of a Child" and can be listened to if you click the link, then click the "listen" button.  If you ever get to go to a Jon Schmidt concert- go!  It was amazing and he is an incredible piano player with awesome music!

Hey Yohan! I saw Jon Schmidt in concert a few years back when I was an EFY counselor. I LOVED it! I have the sheet music for "waterfall" if you need it! :o) Good luck and keep practicing!
