Wow!!!! I know exactly the moment you're talking about. Wow!

Oh, well done, Spawn #2! And aren't you a proud supporter/gopher/encourager/nagger! (Otherwise known as a "parent")?

Thank you for sharing!

[heliophile_oxon]

Thank you!!!!! I really was shit-scared (it's a live broadcast, so no take-backs or do-overs), so it's actually a huge relief just that it's over :-s
I am proud of him, but I honestly think that if I'd known all those years ago how much I was going to stress out ... *g*

Thank you for coming by with such a lovely comment!

I was able to listen to it! Even in Perth, I was able to listen to it (Hurrah the BBC website *g*)

And it sounded jolly good to me, that bit where the clarinet goes quietly-wooble-wooble-wooble-wooble-watch-out-here-it-comes AND a uuuuuuuuuuooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ! Not that I know anything about it, but... yeah, jolly good to me. *g* And I bet he looked smart in his beautifully ironed extra black trousers and all. *vbg* Hurrah Spawn#2!

And hurrah you, for bringing Spawn#2 up to be able to go wooble-wooble-wooble-wooble-watch-out-here-it-comes AND a uuuuuuuuuuooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii so wonderfully in the BBC Proms, of all things!

I'm all big-grins here for you, you know. *vbg*

[heliophile_oxon]

Oh, brilliant! Thank you for going and listening!
I have no idea what he looked like, in fact, because the place is so damn big (and we were right on the opposite side, and right up in the gods) I could barely see him *bg*
Still, I reckon the worst of the faded patches on the trousers were at least partly covered up :-))))
Eh, he's done it all himself - I mean, I know a big part of that is getting the chance to even have a go, that's true. It's so unfair that relatively few kids even get the chance to have a go! Still, I guess we'll just go on trying to be vaguely encouraging ...
Thank you for being all big-grins :-) Hope Perth is treating you well, and goes on being full of the beautiful and the amazing!

Bravo, Spawn #2!

[heliophile_oxon]

Thank you!!!!! Eh, you know what those nerves are like, I guess *g* :-s

Oh, yeah. Ros did her musical form for the black belt ceremony (not quite the Albert Hall, but still a thing) and a was proudly nervous for her the whole time.

[heliophile_oxon]

Yes, exactly! That - and I'd thought I'd grow out of it, but it seems I haven't :-s
It's just knowing they're on the spot, and knowing how much it means to them ...

I'm sure I'll grow out of it ... eventually *g*

[lexin]

Excellent! You must be so proud!

[heliophile_oxon]

Thank you!!!!!!!! I was mostly scared, tbh :-s

[sw33n3y]

Oh well done, Spawn #2! *applauds wildly*

I can imagine how proud you must be!

[heliophile_oxon]

Thank you kindly!!! *bg*
I was more scared than anything else, really - maybe that's just me being an idiot ... (>.<) :-s
