Klezmer, Cajun and New Mexican Music all in one night

Day 24

This weekend was so busy with a gig on Friday night and then the big one on Saturday night--swim meet on Saturday and Sunday AM we just could not make it to yet another band rehearsal on Sunday afternoon we were wiped out. We only have one car-always have-and it just makes for a lot of driving and just long days.

Here is the Nahalat Shalom Community Klezmer band-there are more people than this in the actual band but Saturday night this was all who could come. A lot of strings but an amazing variety of instruments for a community band. And it truly does represent the community with people from all over and you do not have to be Jewish just a desire to play with a fantastic band!



G2 got the end spot today-I convinced her to wear the top part of what I made for her Halloween costume and then I added a sparkly skirt.


She had a great night-her playing is getting better but she moved up in violin sizes this week to a 1/2 size and she is going to try playing with no tape markers (to mark where her fingers go on the neck) so it is hard but she is already doing it she just does not realize and does not really need the tape.


This is not from the gig this is G2 getting to try out some higher quality violins since she plays so much and has a fairly good ear for sound she is noticing the difference and wants a better sounding instrument. We are going to work towards this in the new year because she takes good care of her instruments and works hard with her music and practicing and really deserves the credit and reward.


Here is the whole outfit together she sure did sparkle!
