Party!

Saturday night I played for an 80th birthday party. I was asked to play 2 hours of classical solo violin music. I was able to scrounge up several books of violin music, most of which was not intended to be played solo, but worked well. The party went without a hitch. I played non-stop for 2 hours ( a feat I was not expecting, and found quite tiring). They squished me into a corner so that the party could continue on around me, without it seeming like a "concert". This made me feel very similar to a record player. The people, however, were very nice and seemed appreciative of my playing. My favorite part of the night was being able to be in my own little world, enjoying playing my violin. It was worth $200 at the end of the long night!
