That's right, we decided to throw our own recital. I know. The Harris family started to learn the piano in August and Sheila started the harp around the same time. We felt it was time to put our efforts to work and challenge ourselves in front of a group of people. Why?(mental craziness) I don't know why, but we did, and it did get me to practice a bit more.
There were other neighbors around with some great talent, so we invited them to our recital too. We made a program, decorated the front door with a few musical notes and lit some candles for the mood.
Becket was first to go with Jingle Bells.
Then Jiyun
Gretchen and I playing Alouette a duet.Good mom and daughter time, too bad I'm completely hiding her.
Caroline- minuet in G
Mat playing Chiapanecas (Mexican Clapping song)
Me playing Alpine Melody
Jared playing Here AM I.
Kelli playing River Flows in You. I'm sure the baby was jamming to the music. 1 week to go Kelli!
Zvi playing Springtime harmonica. Totally rocked and the kids started a mosh pit on the living room rug. He brought his own blues costume for a personal touch.
Sheila on the harp playing The Jade Temple. The kids were in awe at the funny looking instrument.
Jenny singing opera O Mio Babbino. She's only 5'2" and this girl can belt it! She only started training when she was 16.
Julie playing the The Entertainer
Then, of course, there was the delicious food that everyone helped with. It was a good experience even though a little intimidating, but it puts hair on the chest! Thanks for coming my little Morgantown family.

Thanks for putting this recital on it was a lot of fun!
That is AWESOME!!!! I love that you held your very own recital! Brilliant!
Turned out just great! It was fun to see the pics after knowing it was going on. We'll be looking forward to a second recital when we get there.
I loved the recital. It was a great time! Thanks for putting it together. By the way, it should not be legal to photograph pregnant women while sitting - not flattering :)
It was a fun night full of talents. I still want to hear Jenny hit the highest note she can!
Only you would throw your own recital Mic! I actually slammed my own hand in the car door once to get out of having to play at a recital.
Mat and I played a piano duet when he was 5 and I was 8 (We'll Go Fishin' in a Crawdad Hole). We spent more time shoving each other off the piano bench than we did playing the song.
it was suprisingly fun to be in our own recital! loved every minute of it (except for me playing). thanks for the invite, as always! guess next year we'll have to fly out for the recital.
Of course you threw your own recital! You Harris folk are great at finding a reason to celebrate with friends.
P.S. I still love your turquoise table.
This was fun!
