Owen

This morning Owen performed at the After Chapel Concert for the Concordia Seminary.  I was so grateful that I was able to hear the amazing job Owen did.  It brought back some sweet memories of when he came to visit Grandpa and I and we were able to listen to him practice while he was there.  Aunt Becky sent me a copy of the program and I wanted to share the  "About the Artist" that was printed on the program.  I included a picture Aunt Becky took and one I took from the TV while I was watching it live-streamed.  I noticed during the concert a photographer and I hope that I will be able to get some close ups of him actually performing.  He is truly a gifted trombonist.  Thank you Owen for your dedication to composing and performing such beautiful music.
