The Sound of Music

I made my orchestral debut during our last Community Night.  I played second guitar to David; Jake on the cornet.  It was rather dismal.  The first song, "Simple Gifts", to the tune of "Lord of the Dance", started out all right, but David provided only the first two verses of sheet music and not the chorus, so we had to improvise. The following songs, which we were told we would be playing, the Spiritual Life Committee changed in midstream, so we didn't even try to improvise.  And wouldn't you know, nobody in the whole hall was even aware there was no musical accompaniment .  That's how powerful song from the heart is.
