Introduced the Gypsy Jazz band to the public for the first time tonight and it was just great! Me on guitar, mandolin player, violinist, drummer, and stand up bass. Played for probably a little over twenty minutes to about 60 people...member of the band received applauses after solos, received a standing ovation at the end, and they asked for an encore song! We weren't anywhere near prepared to do an encore, so we just reprises one song we did earlier.
The show was billed as an afternoon of chamber music; various instrumentalists played prior to us: flute, violin, piano, clarinet, etc., in mostly a classical music show. Then we came on and did or gypsy music. Great time. But my solos need tons of work...!
