I've just had another spectacularly enjoyable three day's harpsichording. There were lots of visitors, and a good number of those said they enjoyed my playing. It was nice to see people sitting around and listening. This afternoon a party of German holidaymakers came in and asked me if I could play any Handel. I duly obliged with a chunk of the 'great' G Minor Suite, that I had played previously in my diploma recital.
The pub was very good too. When I arrived it was full of people who had been listening to the band. These started drifting out shortly after I started. I took a deep breath and carried on. I'm glad I did. The window behind me was open, and people started wandering in. They stayed. Also a group of people in the pub over the road heard me. They came in too, and they also stayed. The pub got busier and busier. It's looking good! I took my keyboard back at ten, directly after I'd finished playing. Then I went back to the pub to enjoy a pint.
