I was busy all last month planning our halloween party, but I also had to fit in time to rehearse for NOv 1st---I had second-thoughts but I am glad I did it. This couple remembered my music when I played at Sip n Savor on Valentine's day 2013. I was so flattered to be asked to play for their wedding reception, that I said yes--but I did forget a lot of lyrics and chords so I had to really practice and put together a playlist that worked.
Sip n Savor is an adorable victorian style house built in the 1850's and it has been turned into a restaurant. The solid wood floors and shape of the house make it really fun to play live music. Each room is made into a nice private dining room, and for the reception the house was pretty full! Lots of wine and good food for all, which allowed me to really feel comfortable playing since no one was really watching. It was nice to hear many nice comments and to be asked back by the owners, but I think it's just too mentally taxing right now with all my responsibilities at home. Someday I might do it again regularly, but with homeschooling and babies it's too selfish to ignore them so I can rehearse.
John was happy to get a little extra income this month, and they graciously paid me more than I even asked. I hope they enjoyed it and wish them the best in their marriage!
Thank you to Susan for coming along and helping haul the equipment, and especially for getting some video on her phone and camera, and putting these together--it will be nice to remember:
