Wine Tasting

It's official. I want to be a musician when I grow up.

My friend Laura called me on Monday to see what I might be doing on Tuesday.  Laura's mother was trying to find a musician who might do some strolling for a wine tasting event.  There would be several tents and she tells me that I would be just great.  Not having anything to do, I agree to it.  The woman organizing the event called me next to give me directions and we agree on 6 o'clock.  I was a little nervous, but not so much that there was any hesitation...  I just went.

I followed the directions to Round Top and found the group of tents that was the Arbor Antiques Show.  I began strolling and singing to everyone around.  It was a combination of singing telegrams and a fair. Sometimes I would approach a friendly group and ask if they'd like a song, sometimes I would just post myself in a visible but out of the way spot. Both methods worked very well and produced such friendly responses. I was offered more wine than I could have possibly drunk in about 3 months.  Everyone was wonderful.  So many kind comments and questions.  I laughed with all sorts of people.  It was one of the most rewarding evenings I have had as a musician so far.  Two hours went by so quickly.

I will be doing the same for the wine tasting event they have for their spring show.  I should have a few new songs by then...  I can't wait to share them with this great group of people.
