The Newest Member of the Grand Ole Opry

As everyone knows, my dad really enjoys playing his guitar and mandolin. His favorite music is bluegrass. He is working his hardest on Logan, so he will have a playing buddy. It seems to be working, though. Every Tuesday evening my dad goes to a little bluegrass picking. While I was staying with my parents, waiting for my house to be ready, we had the opportunity to go listen to some good ole bluegrass music. The first night we went, my dad had his guitar out to "practice" and Logan was playing his mandolin. It was about time to go, so my dad was put his guitar in the case and started to load up his truck. As we headed out the door Logan told us to wait; he ran off and came right back with his mandolin. We put it in the truck, thinking this could be really cute, or really bad. When we got to the Powersville Grand Ole Opry, we unloaded the truck, and watched as the guys set up on the stage. Logan decided he wanted to get up there and play his mandolin. My dad got a chair for him, he sat down and went to playing just like all those other men. He was the biggest hit! All the people got such a kick out of that little boy up there playing his mandolin. We only got to go about three times, but every week those people ask about Logan and where he is. They said they have a spot for him if we're ever back visiting on a Tuesday night!

Those pics are great! He looks so little sitting up next to all the guys. I'm sure he was quite proud of himself!
