Busy Weekend-- Again

I just played a wedding today at Reid State Park in Georgetown-- and it was one of two weddings being held there (the park crew was somewhat annoyed). I played acoustic guitar on the rocks (that is not a drink), and although the ceremony was short and sweet, everyone dressed appropriately (and I came dressing the same: khaki pants and white shirt). Word to the wise though-- if you have a heavy guitar and case combo, get some wheels on that thing! I was getting late because I went to the wrong wedding, first so I ran the span of half a mile with a heavy bag and guitar on a sandy road to make it in time. I am glad I ended up with a view like this!

The day before I played jazz music with Mitch and Jeff on Orr's island in Harpswell. This was for an 80th birthday party and the food and people were amazing. The only issue, and of course there are always a few, was that we were not told what to play for music-- so when a sheet of requests went up, we didn't have the sheets. We were also told halfway through not to sing-- which seemed weird considering the requests were all songs that definitely required singing. My band was not impressed but the cake, the check, and a childhood memory for Mitch seemed to end the night right. My take: I don't mind getting into things even if I am over my head--music should always be like that-- always about to lose control-- but you always have it.

Tomorrow I have the AM church service with the jazz band players and a ballroom class to teach.

I have some composing to get to-- I now have lessons of my own and homework! All worth it!

Thanks!
