So those of you that know me very well, know I LoVe Jon Schmidt! He is a local pianist here in Utah and is amazing. Dan and I have been listening to his music and buying his cd's for over 10 years and we have been to several of his concerts. He's so entertaining, he even plays the piano while laying upside down! If you haven't seen him perform I totally recommend it. Or at least but some of his cd's. Recently he wrote a song called "Love Story Meets Viva La Vida" (Love Story by Taylor Swift and Viva La Vida by Coldplay). I immediately fell in love with it and so did Dan and our kids. Lindsay played it about 10 times a day the first couple weeks after we downloaded it from Jon's website. Well, then Jon ran into some legal issues with the song so they pulled it from his website. But I think he's getting it worked out so he can put it onto a cd and make sheet music, etc.... Luckily we had already purchase it and downloaded it before he took it off. Well, when I heard he was performing at the Thanksgiving Point Waterfall Amphitheater I bought tickets for me, Dan and Laurel and Sam. So we got to sit out on the grass and listen to Jon perform with the Waterfalls behind him! It was amazing and the night was gorgeous! Here's a little but of footage and pictures from that night. P.S. The cellist is Steven Sharp Nelson and he's awesome! My favorite part of the song is when he starts playing Via La Vida about half way through the song ~ it gives me chills! Here's the link on Youtube to hear the whole Love Story meets Viva La Vida song (I would LOVE to choreograph a dance to this song someday!).
