Had a pleasant surprise Wednesday. David and Candace Payne stopped in on their way from Montana to Minnesota and we got to play a little bit of music. Since Candace usually gets stuck playing bass and trying to keep everyone in line , she decided to grab my fiddle and play that for a bit of a change. Glad she did 'cause it sounded pretty good and I got to hear a few tunes I have been meaning to learn - Pirates Waltz and Black Hills Waltz. Anyhow, fun for all.
We even coaxed Harold Tribitt into coming over and playing and singing a couple songs for us. Electrified instruments are not usually the norm for when when play, but he kept the volume level low and the enjoyment level high. That's what really counts.
Candace, Dave and I played a little more the next morning before they headed out. Can't wait to do it again when we have some more time. By the way Dave, I did finally remember how Texas Gales goes. It had been so long since I played it that I was completely blank when Dave called that tune. Neither the mind nor the fingers were working. Next time, right.
