Practice Makes Concert


At the beginning of the year, the end of July seemed very far off. Yesterday it was in the face of Nathaniel Barn Loft, who actually had been preparing for his concert for a few years.

No, Barn Loft didn't know what he would play or what he would say until a few weeks ago. But with Barn Loft's desire to play the music he loves and the experience of competitions and teaching, he was ready for all eyes to be on him for an hour - all 200 eyes, as it turned out.

At the last minute Main House President Dad learned that Barn Loft would need his own sound system. Dad and Barn Loft are thankful for the local music shop that sold them their "sound system in a box." Dad and Barn Loft had to do some quick learning about how to use it and how to set it up. They are also thankful for a friend's counsel. With much prayer Barn Loft handled his equipment gracefully, delivering his dulcimer notes clearly and at a good volume and not hurting anyone's ears with feedback.

The only feedback Barn Loft got was encouragement.

Thank you to all who came out and all who wanted to come.
