My Dad’s Got Talent

03.27.2011 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

Last night the kids and I went to the talent show at my parents church. The show was put on at the tail end of their Missions Week to raise funds for their short term mission teams.

About 19 acts in all – everything from pre-teen dancers, the junior high drama team, a stand up comedian and a 13 year old who could give Justin Beiber a run for his money (wish I’d videotaped that).

My dad and his friend Mike played a Harmonica Medley that was pretty awesome! My dad’s been playing harmonica ever since I can remember but has really gotten into it since he’s been retired. He uses his talents at the local hospital once a week and sometimes crashes the pizza parlor where Mike and his harmonica band play every Friday (LJ’s Pizza in Mesa, AZ).

You go dad!
