My Son's Concert

Brian's concert was tonight. It was supposed to be in a park, but since it rained a little, they moved it into the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. It is a beautiful building, and there were nearly 600 people in attendance. I was so proud of my son. He is AMAZING ! He literally "brought the house down" with his fun show! He had several accordions there, from his big concert instrument to his inventions like this one. He told a story about an accordion artist who died when his all wooden accordion started on fire when he played it too fast...then he proceeded to play what he claimed to be the same arrangement of "Lady of Spain", and he played it faster and faster and this smoke started pouring out of the accordion. It was just hilarious. No video was allowed in this building. No still photos were allowed either. I told the people in charge that he is my son and I was going to take one photo, so this is it. I wish I had a recording of someting to post, but sooner or later, I will. He is playing for a group in a restaurant...not the nice venue this was, but maybe I can record something there.
