From the Field

Today was so much fun! Performing on stage with Dan Zanes was too much of a nice experience.  The audience was mostly little kids, so they were pretty rowdy and excited.  I liked the outfits they wore on stage and the instruments they played.

Today was a day I will never forget.  It was really fun being able to play with Dan Zanes and his crew.  It was really quite inspiring being able to watch someone make children happy and have fun while doing so.  It inspires people to gather energy, dress up kind of funky, and sing silly songs, just for the smile of a toddler.  It can really make a difference to the world of you can make just one child smile.  They are our future.  Make them happy and the future becomes brighter.

I really enjoyed myself playing with Dan Zanes and his crew.  I have two favorite parts of this day playing with them.  One is when we were backstage and one of his crew members let me play the ukulele.  I’ve always been a fan of that instrument and it was amazing my first time playing it.  Secondly, when we were on stage performing and Dan Zanes was so connected with the crowd.  Made me feel really cool to see all the smiling faces.
