Orange Blossom Special

One of the kids' accomplishments this summer was in mastering the Orange Blossom Special song on their violins. So, a big highlight for them was the opportunity to play the song at the CBC Radio Hour (August 16, 2008) with a few other people from their violin studio (including a friend from church) that had also mastered the song. And, their violin teacher played as well. They thought it was such a treat to play the song with the backing of the great musicians within our church. The CBC Radio Hour is a great outreach event that our church puts on at the end of each summer; with lots of fried chicken, side dishes and then music and the Word under the stars outside. It worked out this year that my sister Shantel and her boyfriend, Joe, were able to attend with us; along with some of the family members of the other violin students.
