beige_alertI haven't felt all that musically motivated recently, but I had lots of fun at the con. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rose1thorn sang along with me on a bunch of songs on Saturday night, and sweetmusic_27 also joined along singing the chorus in "Nuts From The Hazel Tree." I'm guessing I looked like I was having a lot of fun during that song with the two of them, because I sure felt it.
Though a bit out of practice I played the allemande from Bach's supposedly-in-A-minor-partita and it went tolerably well.sweetmusic_27 was sitting next to me drinking a wonderful Scotch whisky with the most delightful aroma that I could smell while I was playing. I kept thinking I just had to finish the piece and then I could beg some off her.
Earlier, the concert bybillroper and daisy_knotwise (plus sweetmusic_27, because everything is better with fiddle) was fun. That was an amazing test of the musicians' ability to just keep on playing no matter what chaos the two little girls plus any additional little girls and boys who joined in the chaos caused. It was extremely cute.
Toyboat was also fun. Electric fiddle! Can't go wrong with that! They have an immense pile of gear, I got roped into providing a tiny bit of help setting up. The sound mix mostly worked fine, but the recording may not have been set up exactly optimally. You could sort of tell when the sound engineersbillroper and tollers burst out laughing after Banned From Argo, looking at the trace in the recording software that was pretty much full-time clipping. Everything, I guess, really was louder than everything else. The mix to the speakers was fine, though.
