Fall party '17 at Sky Castle

Great party, biggest yet... about 30 people showed.  Happy to have hosted some of the Sewanee music faculty -  Jessica, Stephen, Peter and to have had such great music.  Performers for the night included the Hendley / Bevers duo, many guitar students playing solo, Joe playing blues, Linda playing her own cool tunes, and Peter and I playing Piazzolla.

Weather was great, nice sunset.  About 10 people came from Murfreesboro, and most of the rest from the mountain.  The mulled wine and pasta turned out great.

Old guys from the 'Boro at sunset - Will, Bill, Jan, and Andrew

My phone ran out of memory, was hoping to get more video but here's a few brief clips.  I got Peter and I playing the entire "Cafe 1930" by Piazzolla.  Jan got some too.




Jacob and Michael played great...






Since the audio didn't come out on this video, here's their performance from the concert a few days ago at MTSU.  I just love this piece...




It was good to play with Peter and there was a discussion about us playing at the Sewanee faculty Christmas party - which would be a very high visibility gig on campus, much bigger than a concert since virtually all Sewanee faculty attend this event. I was there 2 yr ago and there must have been at least 200 - 300 people there. Happy to have Stephen over and with my upcoming Guitar Festival, I feel quite a bit more integrated into the college scene. Also, I had a discussion and interest expressed in starting a guitar program in 2019 at the Sewanee Summer Music Festival.   Hilary, the Asst. Director of SSMF, seems quite interested in helping me develop it.
