Somebody joined me to singalong with my backing track and clarinet. Jack was impressed!
I'm hoping that this will be a regular occurrence. The amplifier will take:
A backing track
A microphone
A guitar or other electronic musical instrument
All at the same time with my clarinet needing no such help.
I was told that my playing was good: I certainly pumped plenty of emotion into my playing. This registers with people and got a fair number of smiles. One long held high note raised a laugh and a donation of £1from someone standing on the far pavement.
My aim is to inject enthusiasm with as high a level of skill as I can but the the belief is that the first is by far the most important. Does the music come across as though it is FUN ?
The result is that when I get home I feel emotionally exhausted with a tendency towards depression which then takes a few hours to dissipate as I get on with 'ordinary' activities like a walk. This quickly energised me with the sight of autumn leaves and the sound of my feet brushing through them.
