Musically, it was another slow year. When I was home I would get together with Les (cello) and Leanna (violin) once a month. I did three gigs for St. Patrick’s Day. I usually played second violin at a “free for all” chamber music group that met on Sunday afternoons. My sister-in-law, Nina, belonged to a “Sing” group and I have managed to go twice with her so far. Nina and I also tried to jam once a week.
Labor day weekend was a trip with friends to West Virginia for folk music and dance camp.
Afterwards, I went to Southern Spain to Granada to go on a hike with the author of a book that my club had reviewed in the spring. The tour was called “Walking over Lemons” with Chris Stewart. I went on half of the hikes and also had a chance to play on Chris’ very expensive classical guitar. No, I did not get a chance to visit the Alhambra. It was sold out.
Nina joined me for a weekend at “Fiddle Hell” in November. We also had a chance to visit the cousins in Boston. I stayed a few days longer to visit my cellist friend from Cape Cod, Marilyn.
