Yesterday was a busy Saturday. First I played at a reception in Catawba, NC for Deborah Kincaid Cox's brother Mark and his new bride Leminda. It was a 3-hour event and those in attendance were so kind and attentive... especially Deb's husband Dan. He had come to see me at the Hometown Opry and had bought 2 CD's while he was there. When I arrived he had my Sounds Like Me CD blasting from his truck as he prepared the BBQ for the event (which lived up to its award winning hype... it was the best). How cool to drive up and here your music playing.
Then last night from 6-9 I played for a not-so-surprise surprise birthday party for Lynn's step-sister Melinda. It was my gift to her for her 50th birthday party. She's been through so much lately after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing chem o for several weeks now. Lynn and I wanted to brighten her spirits a little by having live music there at the party. But she didn't need to be brightened. She's handling her challenge with style and grace and many of us could learn a great deal from her. Read more about her journey at her blog, http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/melindafargis.
Got up early this morning even though we got home and in bed late last night. I've been working on my studio trying to install a new wrap-around desk for a long time... actually I've been procrastinating even getting started. So this morning I moved my old Bose L1 out to another side of the room to make room for the desk and moved a bunch of filing cabinets out of the way. Now to get on to the hard part of assembling the thing... that will be later today I hope. First church at Celebration Church here in North Wilkesboro and then this afternoon I plan to complete that long overdue step. It's important to my practice time because I need to do this before setting up the full live setup in the studio to practice and record. If I don't do it before setting up I'll never get to it.
