Proud Daddy Moment

Daughter #2 performed at open mic night at Caffé Lena last night.

Caffé Lena is the oldest,continually operating coffeehouse in the United States.

Here's her 2-song set:



Song #1: "Hiding in Your Hands" from DEAR EVAN HANSEN
Song #2: "Where You'll Find Me" original song by Olivia Wilkerson

Very cool. She's talented.

Gotta love those proud Dad moments.

What a cool looking setup and opportunity! She must have felt like a rock star!

She's really good. Great voice.

That's awesome, John. Great performance!

I had my own proud dad moment last night.

My 14-year-old daughter took part in her school's production of High School Musical. She only had a minor role, and wasn't often visible because she was at the back of the stage, but she poured her heart into that role. She sang, she danced, and during the basketball game scene, she was acting with everything she had, being a spectator of the
game, she had such enthusiasm on her face as she watched and cheered.

There have been a lot of long days, weekends and nights given up. There are no sufficient words to express what I'm feeling. But as Palpatine says "We will watch your career with great interst."

She said in the car on the way home that next musical, in 2 years time, she'd like to try for a bigger acting role. She feels that she's ready for that now. Which reminded me of of Matthew 25:23

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ wrote:

So cool! That's such a great feeling to see that hard work turn into a great show! Happy for you guys!
