Lots of our friends came over for the evening to wish the Truitts off on their new adventure, and the evening ended wonderfully with home-made raspberry pie (made by Quinn and I from our very heavy raspberry bushes).
Now, we need to clear something up with you.
Very often in our travels (and sometimes even here in Juneau), people will come up to us after a show and they seem to think all we do in our free time is sit in front of our fireplace on cold winter evenings and play music happily together.
And that's sort of true...
Yes, there are lots of cold winter evenings.
Yes, there is a lot music played in front of the fireplace.
But no. We are practicing.
We very seldom just get together and play for fun.
(though yes, practice is a lot of fun sometimes)
Getting together with friends and just playing music seldom happens outside of Folk Fest week here in our house, so this evening spent with four guitars, two fiddles, a banjo, a bass and a piano was absolutely wonderful.
The night turned into a worship service/talent show, and we filmed parts of it to capture the moments we shared with everyone.
We hope you like this little look into a very special evening:
"For where two or three gather in my name,
there am I with them."
Matthew 18:20
Thank you all for a beautiful evening!
ReplyDeleteFor over a half century, I tried to explain to folks that I worked music 18 hours a day. It is now a great pleasure to "play" music..Piano, Baritone Uke (in a bluegrass band!!??), celtic harp..... Thanks for your affirmation that " though we sometimes have fun with music" a lot of it is work and practice. I am, also, blest by your session tuning into worship.. mine does too. Looking forward to seeing you in January.
