Tonight was the annual Jazz Till You Drop event at the Blue Door Cafe off HWY 55 in Eagle. Jared told me he would watch JR so I could go out to see my sissy Mercedes sing at this yearly event for her school Arts West. Sadly I don't have any friends so he and JR ended up coming with me. Luckily they have delicious pizza. We picked the "Country Ranch" pizza.
We arrived around 6pm and Mercedes put her name on the list to sing asap and came over to help entertain JR for a little while. NO ONE can make that kid laugh and send him into fits and giggles like his aunt Mercedes can.
We loved watching the students and guest musicians on stage while we ate. JR would sit for long periods of time watching them.
Jeff Baker, teacher and Jazz musician extraordinaire did a song and Jared could not believe how long it lasted! There was still one more group before Mercedes was to come on and Jared was worried it would take another hour if everyone took as long as Jeff did!
Mercedes did an arrangement of "After the Storm" by Mumford and Sons. She rocked it.
Good job Mercedes! It was a way fun night and we loved seeing you sing! I think if I am going to get Jared to come again though you might want to do an arrangement of AC/AD or something! Haha. Just kidding, we love Mercedes and support her in everything she does, plus teasing her is one of Jared's favorite pastimes!
Thank you so much for going and supporting Mercedes. I know she appreciated it!
