My second cousin, Andy Fischer, performed this past Monday night in the Brainerd High School Talent Show. My photo isn't very good but he's the lead singer playing the white guitar. He also sang a solo and played his guitar and harmonica. Both performances where of original songs he and his buddy's wrote. He was really good. But he didn't place in the top three (they only announced the top three that night). Andy placed fifth overall.
If you ask me the whole thing was rigged. I say that because some of the very best people didn't place in the top. Some stupid stuff won. The guy that came in second place read some stupid poem. And there was a girl, Gretchen Retka, that sang sooooo good. She is a future star, no doubt in my mind. But she didn't place in the top three. And who were the judges??? Teachers. Shouldn't it be a little more impartial than that? It was fun anyway. And there were a lot of talented kids there. There was even a student juggler that juggled knives (he was later suspended for bringing knives into the school).
