billy jonas: now this ashvillian ROCKS!

heather and i took the kids to the orange peel on sunday night to check out a benefit concert billy jonas was holding on behalf of one the local schools. let me tell ya' there was more then just a little foot tapping going on.

This performance was an explosion of energy. In singalongs, bangalongs, whisperalongs, as well as improvised songs, his primary instrument is the audience. Everyone becomes part of a performance that reaches out and ". . . touches even the most hardened of hearts."

singing about things that matter and encouraging kids to THINK BIG!

banging buckets = highly encouraged!

found him on YouTube - but i am not figured out how to upload video. (oh beth...)

Well that sounds just AWESOME!
I will be checking him out...
What a very fun thing!

On YouTUBE right next to the image is a box that says EMBED.
You just copy all that junk in the box and then paste in the post box for your blog. IT is easy peasy
It should just show up when you post your blog. VERY COOL.
