Performed Outside In High Wind - Yikes!
I've played outside at least 40 times. I've had rain delays and rain cancellations, but never a wind like this, with gale-force gusts.
Even for a grizzled veteran like me, it was a challenge. Some of the string players who have no outside experience were overwhelmed.
Still - we brought off a really good performance under very trying conditions. Made me proud.

I bet that would be hard. Good job!!
Happy SWS!
Good job! The hubby plays french horn and has played outside gigs as well. The worst (unfortunately) are the near-freezing sunrise services on Easter!
Outside performances almost always seem to be such a challenge. So many factors out of your control!
Thanks for playing 6WS and I'm glad you didn't blow away!
In response to your comment at Gin'n'Tacos--
I was taking an SF class with John Kessel, and someone said, "I met Tom Godwin's daughter at a party once," and someone responded, "How much did she weigh?"
Love your six words. Glad you guys made it through the show, true professionals!
