Micah is now 11 years old, (and quite cute with a guitar if I say so myself) and ready for his second guitar concert.
This time he would be playing with a violin soloist as well as singing along for the first time on stage.

He only had a few chances to practice with the violin solo, but it seemed to go alright during rehearsal, although the timing got a little slipped up during the actual performance.
We still think he was pretty awesome though.

He had been working on Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" and was pretty good. Here is a video of his performance at home warming up:
We think his best take with the violin solo was as they were practicing on stage right before the concert started, so here's a clip of that:

It was tough because the violinist had the music for his part, but he didn't know when to come in, and we didn't have any idea either, so it was kind of a guess in the end. It was a little off, but we think it was close enough.
Micah is really good at finger picking guitar songs instead of just chords. Many of the other students that were pretty good were impressed that he could finger pick so well and sing at the same time without even look what he was playing.
