Went to the old folks home last night, our venue on 2 Thursdays per month is the Alzheimers Unit, but people come from other areas to sing with us as well. We had a full house last night, as well as a full compliment of musicians: 3 guitars, I played the banjo, we had a stand up bass, an awesome fiddler, and one old boy even joined in with his 50 year old Hohner Accordion.
Mostly old hymns and gospel bluegrass last night, and our fiddle player treated us to some solos when I nodded at him (we've been playing together for 30 years) and we also backed him up on a smokin' version of "Orange Blossom Special" :shock:
I think you get an extra measure of grace when you do these kinds of things, because we were right on with our instrumentals and oh, the vocal harmonies
When we were done, one old boy says "I think you guys had as much fun as we did tonight!" He was absolutely right- I'm still smiling
