Here’s the picture for yesterday’s lunch party.
Sunday 01/05/2025
Started the day by walking to California ave. Partly to walk through the street market, and partly to check out a new restaurant. But said restaurant is closed Sunday, so no go. I felt good so I walked home, where prior couple of times I’ve Lyfted home. Four miles for the day.
At 1 I met with Mary R to brainstorm on how to present “Annie’s Song”. There’s a long section between the 2nd and 3rd verse where John Denver just hums or sings “Oooooo…” I was thinking I should recruit a couple of backup singers to do the “Ooooo” part. Mary said no, I should just tell the audience beforehand, there’s a section of humming, and they should all join in. Audience participation. I will do that.
I have been asked to sing for the monthly birthday dinner. One day a month they do a happy birthday dinner in one quadrant of the dining room and it’s customary for one or two of the resident musicians to play for a few minutes at the start. I did it once sometime last year, and Barbara, who organizes these, requested I do one of the songs I did then. First ever request for a repeat performance. So I’m practicing that song and one other.
