the potential lunatics are exactly the type of "thing" i am on the lookout for. that "something special thing" whether it be an author, book, skill, craft, topic or "whatever it is thing" that i can share with my camp fire groups. ever since i became a leader, i look at everything as "potential fodder" for a lesson, a meeting a ??? so, when i stumbled on to this band last year i instantly thought about how cool it could be to have our very own camp fire concert. well last weekend, thats exactly what we had! it goes even further, thanks to emma, i am taking guitar lessons and she inspired one of my camp fire kids (amber) to take lessons as well, directly from emma. during the show amber was called up to the stage to perform and she amazed us with a song she had written herself! emma also called the audience up to sing with her. at first just a few trickled up but then in a burst of energy, a dozen or so rushed the stage. emma made jokes, she played a great verson of the "circle game" song, she blended slow and fast songs. more than a few parents said, "wow! who is that kid! how old IS she again?" she's 14 and her brother is 11 and yes they are sooooo rockin cool! thank you TPL for making me look like the hip leader i think i am, ha ha!!
