Saturday Night Live

Our version. We were invited to the house of our book club leaders last night. They realized that most of us in the book club are musicians so they hosted a live music jam on Saturday night. I think it was also a chance for Jim to play his new gorgeous Yamaha grand piano.

Only one other person showed up. Jack, who plays trumpet in the orchestra, is also a classical pianist who is learning cords on the piano. He brought along some great books. He ended up on the piano and Michael and Jim played guitar. I must say that Michael has not sounded so good on the guitar in years. He was smokin' last night. It was so fun to just play together once again.

Food. Always an issue now, was fine. We each brought a dish. I brought my crustless quiche, they provided a salad and roasted pork both of which I was able to eat. Afterwards, we sat around the table and talked music for a bit before heading to the living room. I so miss talking music. 

Well, we stayed too late again. We tend to do that at their house. Guess we were having too much fun. We climbed into bed at midnight and were awakened at 1:00AM with bursts of light and some noise from fireworks just next door. 

All in all, it was an unusual night for us. It was just plain fun. Lots and lots of fun.
