Sounds posh doesn't it, but really just a bunch of people getting together to make music and drink lots of wine!
Ricky organised it at her place and we were treated to piano solos, duets, choral works, light opera and an impromptu jazz session at the end of the night when the wheels were well and truly oiled.
Ricky's been on at me for ages to do a little something with piano and sax, but, apart from not wanting to subject the listeners to my ramblings, the thought of performing in front of that lot freaks me out just a tad.
Ricky has her friend staying with her who's a pretty good pianist and composer, so I've dragged the sax out of it's case (where it's been sitting for the last few months) and we're going to meet up for a session later in the week.
Feeling a little bit under the weather this morning, ahem, perhaps a little too many 'verres du vin', and it was raining so put the horses out and spent the day getting my playing muscles in order and finally got around to replacing the keyboard in my french laptop for a UK one. It's not that I mind using a french keyboard it's just that my other laptop has a UK keyboard and to have both is just confusing for the fingers!
