"Papa was a Rolling Stone..."

Not really...but my son was!!! Last night was "Rock back the Clock" night at the Sedgwick Elementary. A project where the 7th and 8th graders had to pick a performer, a year, a song and put together a performance of that song complete with costume (karoke style to the original piece) along with a power point presentation of events that happened during the year that the song came out. Tyler chose 1965, Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones song "Satisfaction". He was accompanied by his friend Bjorn who played the part of Keith Richards on guitar, complete with
white T-shirt and Red bandana head band. Ty had on a purple paisley shirt a pair of black high top sneakers, button fly hip hugger jeans with a white and silver belt. His hair had grown out to Micks length in the 60's and did he ever have his moves! It was so well choreographed I was crying and laughing at the same time!

Don taped it with some great close up shots of Tyler doing some typical Mick Jagger head movements and flipping his hair back and the "Mick Strut". It was uncanny! His sister is no longer the only O'Grady child with stage presence!! If the high school drama teacher catches wind of this performance its all over for him! Can't wait for Caroline to see it she is going to be so proud of her Little bro.
And did I forget to mention handsome! The girls were swooning last night.

This is not usually my son. Mr. quiet, stoic polite Tyler. Someone definitely is coming out of his shell.
Rock on!! Gretchen
