Don’t let
Jon Gomm play your guitar? Virtuoso
guitar player, Jon, was more than happy to let our Happy House kids try strumming
the strings of Wilma’s understudy Lowden, Betty.
And then
they gathered round to watch as he and his
wife, Natasha, an accomplished musician in her
own right, presented a workshop.
Jon told
them all about how he makes many different sounds on his guitar, using it as a
whole drum kit too. And many of them tapped along as he beat our various percussion
sounds. He then added guitar, and voice.
Before they
got the kids singing along to Bob Marley’s Waiting in Vain, Natasha explained
to importance of breathing correctly when you are singing.
Our kids
have never seen anyone like Jon perform before and watched with very serious
expressions as they took in every move.
Jon will
also be giving introductory lessons to some of our children who have shown an
interest or musical aptitude on the two guitars he has bought for us (Musyoka is pictured having a try!)
Jon also joined in some dancing, taking a lesson in dance moves from Samson.
Thank you
Jon and Natasha for coming along to play for our kids and for donating a percentage
of every download of Passionflower to our family.
