The magic is the music...

Today was an amazing day!!! It was worth going on this trip just for the experiences we had today. We went to a music store around 10 A.M. to look for a PA system or an amp or something to amplify my voice and ukelele and me and my brothers were playing with all of the instruments. Me and Jordan were having a drum off and having a great time. After we bought all of our new "toys" we were talking in the car and my parents and I had a great idea. Why not let my little brothers join me in all my fun! So we went back to the campground and practiced (with a little swimming break) and got ready to go to this place called the plaza in downtown Santa Fe where I had played two days ago. We drove down to the plaza and all of the people we met two nights ago were there plus more. It was about to rain but we set up and played anyways. Jordan on the Djembe, Ethan on the shakers and me with my Ukelele and my voice. (Brennan had blisters on his fingers so he was the tech man and he handed out cards and he was amazing) we played and about 100 people came and then left and then more people came and so on. It was awesome!
The best part of the night was all the people we got to meet. Two of the people that stuck out the most was Daniel "Dano" and Paige. They are amazing people. They both have great hearts and a great energy. Dano is a musician and he plays the drums. He was teaching Jordan some things and Jordan really likes him. Paige stayed until the end and she was so sweet. She was talking to my mom and they got along really well. Both her and Dano gave me great advice to follow my heart and not to let the pressure get to me. The night was all about music. Music can help people and reach people in ways that just words can't. In the words of Dano "the magic is the music and the music is the magic" Watch my performance in "The Plaza" :
