Jon Schmidt

Just a quick note. I attended a Jon Schmidt concert with Kelsey tonight. Let me preface....a couple months ago, one of Kelsey's friends came over after school and played part of a song on the piano she had learned. It was amazing! We got the name of it ("Waterfall" by Jon Schmidt) and I bought the music for Kelsey. All the songs in that book are amazing. We found out he would be at the high school tonight for a concert (band fundraiser), so we went. And it was UNBELIEVABLE He is so talented, and such a fantasic pianist. He ranks right up there with my other favorite performer, Jenny Oaks Baker. He's doing a Christmas show at Kingsbury Hall (Salt Lake City) on December 12th and 13th, so if any of you are interested, check out his website (www.jonschmidt.com) or buy a CD. :-)

My dad got me hooked on Jon Schmidt's music. He is amazing! I always wanted to be able to play "Waterfall" on the piano--maybe someday when I actually have a piano again. :) Glad you enjoyed it!

I've heard of him. Isn't his middle name "Jacob Jingleheimer" or something?
