[Nfbwv-talk] happy birthday Karen

Charlene, thanks.  He had to work hard to persuade me to do that.  
An acoustic piano would have been better but he had to mike the 
piano so it was easier for him if I played my electric keyboard.  
What we don't do for our significant others!

For those who may be interested, Birthday Babbie will perform a 
piano
solo
on this week's edition of Sidetracks.  It is a program of music 
for Arbor

Day, and I persuaded her to play a Scott Joplin rag titled 
"Weeping
Willow."
The show airs Friday evening at 9:00 on West Virginia Public 
Radio and
Saturday morning at 11:00 on WFWM, Frostburg, MD.  "Weeping 
Willow" is
perhaps not as well known as other Joplin rags such as "Maple 
Leaf" or
"The
Entertainer," but it is really a hauntingly beautiful piece.  She 
also
played
it at a recent benefit concert for our local food pantry.

Pardon the shameless self promotion, but I thought perhaps some 
of you
(especially those who have never heard Karen's piano work) might 
like to

tune in.

Ed

PS: The birthday cake was made from Mary Fish's rum cake recipe 
with
lots of
chocolate chips and black walnuts.  Yes, Karen did help bake her 
own
birthday
cake, but it was certainly better than most "store-bought" ones.

Hope you've been having a happy day today.  We didn't realize 
until we
saw
other messages.  Have a happy rest of the day and hope you have 
many
more.

 Hi Karen:  I hope you have a special birthday.  May you be blest 
with
all
 good things today and
 May  you have lots more happy birthdays.  I hope Ed will either 
cook
your
 favorite meal or take you to a special restaurant or all of the 
above.

 Much love and lots of hugs,

 Joyce
