Magic Moments

 Sage had a guitar recital today with most of the other kids from his studio. It was so sweet to hear the beginners all the way to the advanced. The recital included some special guests like dueling banjoes, guitar and flute duos, and a fiddle and guitar duo. They were phenomenal. We love our studio and Sage's teacher so much. Sage has gained so much confidence these past weeks as he's had opportunities to play in the community. Today Sage started playing his recital song and stopped after one line, told the audience he needed a minute to tune his guitar, and then started again. It was the sweetest. We're so proud of him.  Sage and his patriotic ensemble played at Munsinger Gardens last weekend and it was lovely. Sage played melody for a couple songs and also held down guitar three.  https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/7VxHaHWwQUCgg9s4_oAHOQ.WbUBmYiWbjOgWDk9_6W4l5

This weekend was packed with fun. Raspberry picking was one of the many highlights. 

 You could say that Sage played his first gig today. The owner of Arts in Motion called Sage's guitar teacher and asked him to play this morning at their venue. Arts in Motion is the best little place I never knew existed. It's along the Lake Wobegon bike trail and it's just beautiful. They offer art classes and an art gallery, they have delicious food made  in house, and a gorgeous building. Sage's teacher asked Sage to join with 3 other students to play a patriotic set list and of course we were so excited. Sage held down guitar three and played melody for a couple tunes. He was the youngest in the group by far, but he did awesome. His gift is his guitar and I tell Sage all the time God gave us gifts and talents to bless others. Hearing Sage play almost brings me to tears. I love seeing the boys develop their talents. I just couldn't be prouder.
