« It was the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen. »
Sometimes magic just happens. That was the case when 1-year-old Boone Anthony recently jumped in with a slide whistle to play a set with the Where Ya At Brass Band in Jackson Square in New Orleans.
Boone’s mom, Stephanie Coleman Anthony, captured the moment and shared the video with NOLA.com| The Times-Picayune. The video has been viewed more than 1 million times.
« Our little 1 year old baby boy went out there and ‘performed’ with an outstanding band in front of a huge crowd on Jackson Square, » Anthony wrote in her Facebook post. « Boone received so many smiles and cheers from so many folks; it was the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen. »
Anthony said the family was visiting from Pensacola, Fla., where her husband is chief air traffic controller for the Navy. She said via email that they bought Boone the $5 slide whistle from a nearby store about 30 minutes before he joined the band.
Anthony also thanked the band for their hospitality. Read her full Facebook post below.
