Singing for supper

Well, not really supper, and not really singing, but playing some gentle Latin rhythms for the diners at the restaurant down the road.   They're a good friendly bunch down there, and I often go for a morning coffee, and natter.     Recently they held a "fête d'été", a Summer festival, and asked if I could play.

There are many good books of simple music that come with a backing track on CD.   It doesn't have to be "serious" classical music, but it's fine as an accompaniment to an evening meal or "apéros", the before-dinner drinks and nibbles.   And I can sight-read it, or nearly.   So I took down my book of sheet music, music stand, my flute, my flute mic, the android tablet with the backing tracks on, and my portable battery-powered speaker (It's so easy to forget something, and everything is necessary)  I played for 40 minutes or so, the duration of all the pieces in the book.

A free lunch is in the offing.
