Last Monday, Sheldon remembered to mention that his Performing Musician's class at school was playing in "some music thing" on Wednesday night at the high school.
Well that "music thing" was the Music Department's Spring Concert and there were four groups from his class that opened the show. Make no mistake, these were not your average band songs. They played Superstition, Crazy Train, and Sunshine of Your Love. Sheldon's group played War Pigs. I wish I could say that I was singing along but I was never a Black Sabbath fan so that it was a little out of my box. But what I did do was watch my drummer do his thing. And he did.
There are no photos to include - I didn't take any - but I won't forget that moment anytime soon.
I have a typical teenager living in my midst. A moody teenager that rarely blesses me with more than a grin. But that night, with his musical friends surrounding him, he was in his element. And that smile. Oh, that smile. It was a smile of pure joy. He was doing something he loved and enjoying every minute of it. And if you don't mind me saying - he was amazing! Sheldon just oozes talent and I couldn't be prouder watching him.
That boy can make my heart sing. I hope he always knows that.
