My friend Nick married Elliott yesterday. Congratulations!
I played flute for the wedding ceremony in a sextet of trumpet, violin, flute, acoustic guitar, harpsichord (keyboard), and vibraphone. Nick wrote arrangements of several Y.O.U. songs, a Beatles song, a few classical things, and a Monty Python tune. It was some pretty intricate stuff, but we made it through ok. The performance fried my brain.
I was also invited to play on a few songs at the reception. We did a few Yacht Rock songs, as well as some Y.O.U. stuff. That went pretty well, considering the swapping of instruments and singers from song to song.
More than anything, it was a nice chance to hang out with my friends (away from a gig for a change) and show off my wife. Surrounded by a bunch of other musicians, I felt almost normal!
Highlands, NC is a beautiful little town in the mountains. Beth and I had a wonderful time. I am tempted show a picture of Beth after sampling the wine, or a picture of me feeding Mark Dannells wedding cake, but you will have to imagine it. Or you can email me and I'll show you.
