Yesterday afternoon my son had his first mini-concert. This is his first year playing an instrument and the violin no less!! I was truly amazed at how good they were! I totally expected to hear somebody completely out of tune but they weren't!!!! They were soooo good! He was all dressed up in his black suit and white shirt.... There you see the total concentration on his face when he played....he loved it! He said it made him realize how people felt performing on stage as musicians. He wants a guitar for Christmas and I think Santa is bringing him one(winks;)! He is too darned pretty to be a boy, but hey I am totally biased!!! Below is the first video I have uploaded here to blogger I hope it works! My video taking needs practice;) Hugs French;) xoxo

Wow French, what a handsome son you have. He was so cute and so serious playing the song. You have every right to be proud.
Hugs,
Chris
How sweet! Proud mama you bet!!
He is gorgeous!
Lisa, oh how entertaining and it is about the look of concentration!
Love the violin but glad to hear Santa is also bringing him a guitar. As it is all strings, I suspect it is private lessons that he takes? (My kids were lucky as the school they went to in grades seven and eight, it was mandatory for them to learn at least one instrument. They loved it but sadly never continued with it in High School.)
Please tell him I enjoyed his concert immensely. Also, in case I am not online again before Christmas I just want to wish YOU and all those who are close to your heart A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A JOYOUS SEASON. Hope Santa is good to ya-all. Many hugs -Brenda-
Your little guy is precious beyond words! Thanks for the video. Maybe more of us will be inspired to post with video too!
You have every reason/right to be a proud mama! Enjoy it! Kids grow up way too fast!
ahh....I can see why you're totally impressed - that was excellent ! And I loved your son's adorable smile after he finished playing - too cute and very dashing in his tux !
Christmas Cheers,
Bre
Aww French Jacob IS adorable, I was proud of him watching your video, I am looking forward to seeing the guitar playing video's next year. be a very proud mama. hugs, Kathy.
Lisa my heart swelled and he's your son! He's just the cutest, he should be on TV! What a precious moment!
Hey way too go Jacob. That was a great performance, who knew that he would get into music. But of course he is you and Gord's son.
Sorry have't written in awhile, have been redoing sun porch, livingroom and diningroom. take care:)
Adorable!! He'll be a handsome young man - the girls will be hanging out at your door. Take care, Sally
He is so cute French! I just want to pinch his cheeks! Kathy
WHat a wonderful young man..and so talented! He should be very proud of himself!
It uploaded great. I haven't mastered uploaded videos yet. You're right they do sound good and he is a very handsome young man!!
What a handsome young man. I'm glad the concert went well. It's important for kids to have a "thing" to interest them before they get too old and just want to sit around playing video games. My nephews don't like team sports, but they are into music and being on the tech crew for plays.
My son plays the guitar. He and a friend are in the basement as we speak playing. I think they want to form a band!!
He could play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star after his first lesson. So with your sons musical background I'm sure he will pick it up really fast.
He is quite a handsome fellow!!
how cool is that!
Oh Frenchie what a beautiful (handsome) young man you have... and talented too... He is so much like his wonderful mom... You should be proud... I was proud and I am only a blogger auntie... LOL
Love Ya sweetie

I understand how you feel! My youngest son plays violin and yesterday he played for and audience of one. There's a photo on my blog. The music from the violin really touches my heart!
Merry Christmas!
Does that video ever bring back MEMORIES! I have 5 kids and 4 of them went through the Suzuki Violin program. My youngest does the cello. I promise you that all the hard work and running around is worth it!!! Check out a video of my kids playing together now that my oldest is 20 (he started at 7 years old) and my youngest is 14. Scroll to the bottom of the post for a short video of Vivaldi.

Not only is he talented, but he's just so cute!
:-)
Lisa, he is so handsome! And I love the fact that he was all dressed up but didn't look dorky at all. You dressed him so that he looked hip and chic!
They really did do well, and you're not too shabby with the video camera!
Justine :o )
Of course he is handsome, look at his gene pool!
Thanks for taking us all along to the concert, it was a treat! Jacob has so much talent in so many areas.
Hugs, Bridget
