Christmas Concert

Christmas Quickie

A little plug for the Corsicana Swing Orchestra - 
Thursday night (6 pm) we played an hour concert for a local old folks-type home.   About 12 -20 of them showed up from their private rooms to listen.  Normally some will leave during the time we play; but, this time, all seemed to stay to the end sometimes singing along with our Christmas tunes.

Afterwards, the joint fed the band:  sandwiches - chips - tuna something - and plenty of mustard.  This is one of the free gigs we do every year.  I must say the audience seems to enjoy hearing the band play.  After the job several band members sat around and talk for almost an hour.  It was a good time had by all.  I suppose it would have been more fun if I had walked off with $100...that rarely happens.  Watching that little short lady on the front row sing along on a couple of songs (her short legs swinging under her chair), maybe that is good enough pay for now.

We all want credit for this when we reach the Pearly Gates.
