An Unforgettable Night at Kurt Bestor

Kurt Bestor this year was unlike any other year because at one point my dad was on the stage with Kurt, the band, and the orchestra! It was pretty awesome. Don't worry, I'll explain.

So each year Kurt Bestor chooses a man from the first two rows to go on stage and read Twas the Night Before Christmas. We always knew that Dad would kill it if he was chosen to go up there. So this year when Kurt Bestor said he had someone picked out but he couldn't find him anymore, Grandpa and Brian waved their arms and said that they had his guy! Kurt said he didn't usually do this, but to send him up. So up Dad went! He did a great job, the perfect mixture of serious and funny. He even shook his hips a little.

On our way out to the car we overheard a couple next to us talking about what a great job that man who read the book did, that he was right on cue! My dad's friend, Michael Dowdle plays the guitar in the band and told Kurt that the man reading (my dad) was his Bishop. They went on to talk about how he was one of the best guys they've had on stage.

I always enjoy all of the beautiful Christmas music. This year I especially enjoyed when they played the song Hark the Herald Angels Sing. My parents love that one and their faces lit up when they started playing it!
