Snowpocalypse 2010

Indianapolis is not known for getting a lot of snow. When we lived in New Hampshire, snow was just a way of life. We got it all the time and it was beautiful, until March arrived. Then it got ugly.

We got a good one this weekend.

Butler Jazz Combos

The kids participated in a fall program being run by Butler University that teaches kids how to perform in small jazz combos. It is an excellent program in teaching kids improvisational jazz. Matt Pivec is the Professor of Jazz Studies at Butler. I tip my hat off to him and the work he is doing.

Music is a great outlet for kids and jazz is a great genre for them to learn. Here are a couple of videos of the kids performance from this weekend.

Symphony No. 4 Finale by Tchaikovsky

I just love listening to the North Central music program. As you listen, these kids are pretty incredible. This Tchaikovsky piece is pretty challenging, yet the sound like pros. Enjoy!

As was report, my Brother-in-law Archie Taylor passed away while on duty in Afghanistan. He was an excellent Soldier, Husban, Father, and Brother to all of us. We are going to miss him.

In his honor, we have the privelage of witnessing his burial at Arlington National Cemetary. We are going as a family. It is anticipated that there will be 150-200 people in attendance. We have received numerous messages from indivdiduals that worked with Archie while on duty together. All the stories are similar with mention of what an honor it was to work with him.

So, if you have a moment to enjoy some silence, honor my Brother-in-law with a prayer.
