Go, Will, Go
Will took saxophone lessons once a week at a music studio near our house. Saxophone was important to him because Dave’s Dad had played and it made Will feel he was carrying on a special family tradition.
Also, the saxophone is an awesome instrument. You’ve gotta admit…it’s hard not to look cool holding a saxophone. Even better if you can make it sound good.
Will had worked really hard and the concert was great. Truly, all the kids performed well and it was genuinely fun to watch.
You can tell by Mikey’s face how great it was. Mikey is Will’s biggest fan, but our whole family loved cheering him on. We still do.
Go, Will, go!!
