My aunt’s-friend’s-daughter’s-grandmother’s- brother’s-dog’s-uncle… is a rock star …

Okay, so we’re not that far removed – it’s my sister’s future father-in-law – but I wanted to make sure you were paying attention.

Jon’s dad, Kurt, is a super-talented musician who plays jazz guitar (like a rock star, as was mentioned in blog post title) in his spare time. Jon’s parents are moving from Sacramento, CA to (near) Dallas, TX in a few weeks and Dave and I wanted to hear Kurt play live before they moved. Last Friday, we didn’t have plans (can you tell how our social life is brimming here in San Francisco?) and decided last-minute to drive to Sacramento (about two-hours away) and hear Kurt perform at his regular Friday-night gig while we still had the chance. It was amazing! How great it was to see Jon’s dad perform on his home turf. We had a great dinner with Tammy (Jon’s mom – the beautiful blonde in the photo) and Kurt joined us in-between sets. I felt like a groupie!!! The great thing about Kurt is he is quite possibly the most humble person you will ever meet. He’s wicked smaaht (went to school at UC Berkeley and Berklee College of Music in Boston) and has parents who really lead by example of how important it is to take advantage of each day and truly make it what you want. I feel so lucky to have them in our lives and can’t wait for Lindsay and Jon to tie the knot in June to make it all official. Insert shameless plug for everyone to click and listen to Kurt play yourself HERE
