In May, Talmage had his spring violin recital. He was more nervous than usual because his teacher assigned him a hard song that really stretched his abilities. He hadn't perfected it to his liking-- but he had it memorized and did his best. I could tell he wasn't ready to perform when he decided to wear his suit instead of his tux. His tux his his "show off suit" and he wasn't feeling like he could show of this night. In all honesty he was one of the best performers of the night. He got flustered introducing himself and made a few mistakes but pulled himself together after each one. It was a great learning experience for him in many ways. Talmage was so happy to have gotten through the recital and have this song behind him (I was too). In the background you can hear the little girl behind us humming along.
