Guitar Hero

I started this blog as a 'Dance Photo Album' - as a branch of our Studio site to feature photos from performances and activities. But now I've caught the 'blog bug' - that state of mind that everything is blog material. Everything we do now, I think - ooh I have to get a picture of this, it's great blog material. I'm pretty sure I caught it from my sister. The other day we were discussing that Live Active cheese - I won't get into the nature of the discussion but she says 'OH, you have to take a photo of the cheese and tell the story on your blog - it's great blog material'. Now everything we do I'm thinking...blog material...

I have also been thinking that I blog Jalyn way more than Jace. I suppose it's because of the whole 'dance theme'...but now that summer is here and things at the studio are slow, I can venture into the exciting tales of Kasper Summer Activities.

Jace started guitar lessons this winter. He really likes it, and is actually getting pretty good. It's kinda cool because he's learning on my Dad's old Silvertone guitar from the attic. We dusted off the cobwebs but the sentimental value remains, and I am enjoying seeing him play it. It's shown in the bottom photo...

But back to what inspired the 'blog material'....We went to see Paper or Plastic, a High School 'rock band' which features Christian music. They were playing at our church, and the guitar player just happens to be Jace's teacher, Brock Bebermeyer.

This is pretty much where Jace stood the entire concert. He never took his eyes of Brock. And I have to say, I was really impressed with these guys! The drummer is also a good friend of ours, and the bass guitar and lead singer are brothers, their Mom works with Phil at the Radio Station. When they started playing, I couldn't stop smiling. I don't know what I expected, but I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. My favorite was when Brock played an acoustic guitar and sang by himself, it was awesome.

Jace was inspired to practice when we got home - and it's neat that the guys have something they can enjoy together.
