A wonderful event today down in Gastown. The day was beautiful, sunny and warm with a light breeze, my favourite kind of day.Gastown was full of people ,all the restaurants and pubs were full. The music of Dal Richard's band was the jazz of the forties which took me so far back in my life, a day of real nostalgia. There were people dancing the jive and jitterbug of the 40s , it was just the best and one old guy was dancing by himself and dancing well by the way . He kept gesturing to the audience for a partner and in the end he got several ladies to dance with him.LOL And my very talented granddaughter was playing a saxophone solo with the band. She was note perfect and so in rhythm with the music. She has an amazing self confidence and charm.
Dal Richards presented her with a $2000 scholarship to continue her music studies which she will be doing at Humber University in Toronto. It was her day and she was joyous.
We were all so proud of her and happy for her , her dad, mom, uncle and two grandmothers. It was such a beautiful day!!!
Ray was still too sick to attend today but I hope he will be better for next Sunday when she plays at the Jazz Festival at the Roundhouse.
And my camera kicked out at the precise moment when Chelsea was playing her solo. Now it won't even download to my computer so no photos :<(((
Bon nuit!
