That’s why I enjoyed last Friday night so well, when the Dey family band
had an opportunity to play some merry tunes for a dance.
It was a dizzying
night full of birthday cake, laughter, melodies floating on the air, and swirling
colors. The soft flowing dances moved in perfect rhythm with the music creating
a strong connection between the band and the dancers. Dances are interesting
like that. Maybe that’s why I fancy them so much.
Let
me introduce you to the band:
My brother Austin backed up the melody with some
solid piano chords. He’s the glue that holds us together sometimes:) I don’t
know what we would do without him.
Cabe fearlessly led us with his back up guitar.
He’s that musician nobody notices yet he adds a completely new dimension to the
music. Thank you bro:)
Elissa and Clara were our fiddlers. Throughout
every single tune they remained strong on the melody, carrying the dancers
through till the end. Indispensable musicians, those girls are.
I played the flute. That’s about all was required
of me. Sometimes I would find some curious little harmony to work off of, and
sometimes I’d take a solo, but mostly I just soaked up all the happiness around
me and try not to make any mistakes.
And then there were
our faithful audience members---- namely Mom, Dad, my sister Annie and her
family. But golly! Somebody has to sit
back and enjoy the music!!!!
Overall the entire evening was a success. Up
next: another dance in February!!!!
