Recently I’ve been volunteering at daycare centers for mentally challenged people.
It is… different…
Anyway, here is the last piece of the last gig:

Very pretty piece and, as ever, beautifully played. I have worked in a care home with older residents, some of whom have dementia. Music can stimulate interest, enjoyment and exchange from even the most unwell: they are different, but made less so by the bridge that music builds.

Till now I only had 2 gigs in 2 of those homes. First time there was a guy who shouted “I will kill you” for 20 minutes, like a metronome…
Second time, there was a guy who would walk to me after every tune to say hello.
Funny thing, the second guy through me off much more…

Wonderful! - your playing, the song, your engagement to play at this place!
I imagine calm pieces like this one work well in such an environment!
And - did you turn the amplifier to the wall so the sound would be projected more evenly, having a more ambient sound?

Thanks.
Yes, this is the method used by Tommy Emmanuel and Joe Robinson.
The amp should actually stand on the floor, but when I have to stand so close to it, almost above it, I’m not hearing anything but the bass notes.

Great piece again.
If I am here live I would not say a word and silently breathe… some people around still talk, Idk their health status.
