Open Mic

Matt and Alison used to be in a band together with some friends and haven't performed together for quite a while.  Actually, I've never seen them perform at all, so it was really fun when she was here and they decided to sing at an open mic night at a coffee shop. 

 Caleb is pretty proud of his daddy and singing his own songs. Someday he'll learn how to hold the guitar.  I'm pretty sure he is right handed but might just be mirroring the way Matt holds it.

 We were there before many people showed up so Caleb had the chance to show off his talents.  He was really quiet at first but once someone clapped he set down his guitar and burst out into song and dance.  (see mattandcherylovideos.blogspot.com)

 He sang his favorite at the time, "1,000 Reasons" by Matt Redmond.

 Abby and Caleb gettin' their groove on as Matt plays.  When the two are together their energy level is at 100% I think.

 We had to go outside and run around for half the time just to get the excitement of being together out.

 I really loved hearing Matt perform with Alison!  They sound amazing!  It was hard to just relax and enjoy it since I had the two sillys with me.  I recorded most of it, which is why I don't have a good picture.  I think I already posted it on our video blog as well.

 Proud son dreaming of being like his daddy, I think.

I hope we'll do this again someday soon.  Matt is a great singer and I know he really enjoyed getting to use some of the talent God has given him.  I did for sure.  And pretty soon Caleb will be up there for real as well. :)
