We had a wow of a time playing and mingling, and the residents loved it, absolutely loved it!
They've asked us back to play again next month, which is lovely.
I really needed to get out and play again... let alone to just get out of the house! So I feel really energized, refreshed, positive, and (can I even suggest it?!?) happy for the first time in weeks.
Plus I've asked Anita to share my gig with me at Millthorpe on 1st November... we'll probably do a similar thing to what we did today... she'll play a few numbers, then I'll play a few numbers, and swap around like that. And playing a bit of light backing now and again to each other, just keeping it light and fun... it worked really well today.

Awesome news Mr Mal, and it's great to hear that bounce in your typing too, glad it went off well and you'll be going back for more!
ReplyDeleteI am really happy that you are happier now.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the oldies would have lapped you up, god knows they need something to brighten up their days.

Twas a really refreshing experience. i played some items i haven't played in like 20 years, and even a song I'd never played before... i was just enjoying myself. and yes, they loved it.
ReplyDeleteI used to do this sort-of thing [visiting retirement villages and nursing homes to play music] years and years ago with my family, when i was involved in church groups. It was satisfying then, and it's satisfying now... but with no agenda, apart from just relaxing and helping others enjoy something I enjoy doing, which is play :)
You know, some people have so little joy in their lives - and when you play it live for them you are really making a difference. Pleased for you mal
