Musicians Who Do Lunch...
What a great day! Had two people tell me I look good, despite the chemo - which is encouraging. I like to do bright, as you can see by the photo. Really enjoying the mix and match thing with bright happy scarves. Never thought I could do the wig thing - this is much more trendy...
What a clever fellow musician this lady is - she plays keyboard, flute AND saxophone ( not all at once, of course!) and has groups employing all these instruments. And she travels just about all the time. From the middle of Australia, to Victoria and back to South Australia - driving all the way...couldn't do that myself....
Anyway, a great time was had by both of us, and she loves my harpsichord. Says I should have a name for it...can anyone suggest anything? I always envy someone who can sit down at a new instrument, and rattle off a Bach Prelude quite easily......
Now I might miss blogging again tomorrow (like I did yesterday) - off to the big smoke to spend a night with my son, his partner and daughter, who is going to be one on Australia Day (Wed).
I'm so glad to have met you!
ReplyDeleteLoved your tour through the gardens at Ballarat (I fondly remember a too short visit there some 20 yrs ago)
Hope you are having a good day - have read through both your blogs.
How about Bel[l]a for your harpsichord? sortof in honour of Bela Bartok (though I am not a huge fan of his work, I like saying his name!)
And you! This is a much more civilised way to meet new people - I am loving it! Secretly hoping for more followers.....
ReplyDeleteBela is a good name, though I play mostly music from the Baroque era on it...not that that matters.
Hope to hear from you again, and thanks again for your comment
Good, I prefer Baroque. (not that it matters!)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to catch up on your life saga. Sounds like you've got some huge challenges going on, but I must say your "colorful" does soften them.
ReplyDeleteNaming your harpsichord? How about Mary Annette? (Because I think of the instrument when I think about puppets & marionettes) ... It's such an old-world, stirring sound.
Blessings,
Kathleen
Thank you Sassy Granny - there's an idea! Or, I suddenly though - Baroque era and all that - Anna Magdalena (Bach's wife)...do like Mary Annette too...decisions!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your heartfelt comments and blessings too. Accepted with much appreciation.
