Narrative
I heard about the Community Music Day from friends and from a Facebook music group I joined. I arrived at the Festival and got a coffee from the food vendor. I moseyed from stage to stage stopping to hear a friend who I knew was performing. I had my guitar with me so I a visited the jam stage and played along and sang "Brown-Eyed Girl" and a few other tunes. Then I visited the crafts vendors inside and out side the League Hall, and ended up sitting down to listen to the jammers. It was great having all the talent of our city assembled in one place! Whoo doggie! I want to come back again next year.
