Lazy Sunday morning, then in the afternoon we attended the music jam here, there were lots of people with instruments, even a bass fiddle, and 4 accordians, as well as tons of guitars, trumpet, slide trombone and plenty of singers, and other things.
I signed up to play my flute, the newest addition to my family, made right here in Desert Hot Springs, it has a figure burned into it, and is the key of C. I was #24, so that made a lot of waiting and listening, this is the second to last jam session here in the park, all the activities pretty well shut down this coming weekend.
I played a short piece which I was happy with, and got a nice enthusiastic applause for it, reassuring. Then after that we had hamburgers up there with Dave and Wendy, later I was playing my flutes back at our site when our neighbour Michael brought over his guitar, and we played together, both sort of free wheeling, it worked out quite well, I was surprised and excited to find that out. Michael has made flutes, but it seems that he hasn't got them with him at the moment, and hasn't played them for a while. I was happy to show him my new clay drone flute from Nash.
Nice afternoon and evening, with a big full moon. Still gets chilly at night, it's the desert!!
