Reesa and I participated in our Ward Talent Show the other weekend. We thought it would be fun to perform a couple numbers. The stage and I are old friends, but a stranger to Reesa. She performed AMAZINGLY. I was/am so proud of her for having the guts to do it and then totally nailing it. We performed two songs: "Black Hole" by She & Him and "You & I" by Wilco and Feist. Enjoy.
Listen to the originals:
"Black Hole" by She & Him (Zooey Deschanel's Band, the girl from ELF)
"You & I" by Wilco and Feist
.
(A special thanks to Sarah and Spencer for shooting the video)
In the famous words of Christopher Walken I got to have more "tambourine" I was waiting for a tambourine solo or something like that. Reesa I dare say if Jeff didn't say I would have thought you were born on a stage. Zooey and Feist have nothing on you. And jeff as always you dah Man. Poor RacH I think is out of a job, that or she just has to find another band (wink wink)
ReplyDeleteFirst off --- Great video'g and editing (speaking as a well experienced videographer and editor of family stage performances). Who would know that Miss Ressa is a stage newbie? What a natural talent. Oh, the things she is in for hooking up with a Cornwall... especially a Jeffrey Melvin - Cornwall.
ReplyDeleteOh boy. You two are cuties! Thats for sure. Reesa no more hiding your talents under a bushel I want to hear that voice MORE MORE MORE! P.s. When Bennett saw the video he said Barbie and Ken (he has been watching a little toy story three) just sayin.
ReplyDeleteYou all are too sweet. It was so much fun preparing, performing and posting the performance. This is what happens when I'm out of town and the talent show sign-up gets passed around in Jeff's ward. Marybeth, I love Bennett's comment. Sooooo cute!
