Late Nights at the Homestead

We get the kids to bed, then call our neighbour and friend up the road. He arrives 10 minutes later on his bike, ukelele strapped to his back, trumpet case in hand.

A set list is scribbled out with a bit of a plan of how it's all gonna go down.

We try out harmonies, throw in some ukelele here,

some foot taps there.

We communicate through eye contact, raised eyebrows, humorous asides, and much laughter and high fiving when we find just the right harmony or get through a whole song without messing up.

I've taken on the roles of egg-shaker, as well as singer, guitarist, and reluctant mandolin player.

I'm sharing music after 20 years of being a solo act, right here in my own kitchen.

I'm loving every minute of it.

If you happen to be in the Eganville area this coming weekend, we'll be performing at the Bonnechere Museum on Saturday, August 6, from 11:00 am till noon. Spread the word!
