Hi all,
I have played many a concert and performance, but always as part of a group - from quartet to 60-strong film orchestra.
However yesterday I went it alone!
I took my iPad with playlist of backing tracks and my TDK soundcube, and a wadge of Christmas music along to our local hospice and played for about 30 minutes as the day hospice patients arrived to their Christmas party.
I loved every minute of it, as did the patients - lots of dancing and applause.
They forced me to stay for a full roast turkey lunch, with all the trimmings, Christmas pudding with custard, cheese and biscuits, coffee and after dinner mints - well, I couldn't refuse.
The funniest thing (to me) was when several staff from all over the building came down to check me out - I had never expected to be quiet, but I didn't appreciate just how far my sound was travelling.
Anyway, I am back there again tomorrow! 😀
