I had the rare privilege (movable type needs a spell checker, dang it!) of attending a free concert featuring several young area artists performing Christmas tunes. OK, it was my kids performing in their school band. My youngest, Luke plays flute in the 5th grade band.

Here he is. He's the one playing in perfect rhythm and on key. The rest of the kids tried, but they were all over the place.
Hey, he's my kid; I'm supposed to be biased!

This is CJ my daughter playing sax in the back with the 7th and 8th grade band. She plays better than Boots randolph. Of course, he is dead, which helps.
As a music critic, I would have to say the concert was uneven at best. As a parent, angels singing Hosanna could not have sounded sweeter. But like I said, I'm biased.
