I’m trying to squeeze in as much performing as possible this summer because I know that I will be on hiatus for a while after Nugget makes his or her appearance. So when I heard about this Garden Party, I eagerly jumped onto the bandwagon. I’ll be doing background music, so there’ll be folks talking and eating while I play, but I don’t mind that. Besides, I get to partake in the dinner, and the menu sound fantastic (see below)! I’ll be playing from 5:00 to 5:40 — while soups and salads are being served, I believe.
Here’s the official invite:

Mmmm, the menu is delicious and I’m sure the music will be delightful. Too bad it’s too far from Ottawa to drop in for the evening.
That is sooo not fair.
I’m starving now, and I can’t eat because it’s bed time…lol
Have a lovely evening.
