April at Harmony Hall & Monte Carlo

Harmony Hall is just east of Aurora south of Wellington on Woodbine. They have a Sunday afternoon jam. We drove by it at first but doubled back and found it. It is a charming place with a full stage and comfortable relaxed audience. We got there are 2pm and the white board list of who's playing was already pretty full. A lady was singing and playing piano. Very enjoyable. She was playing a full sized Yamaha electric piano. Other acts could use that piano, some had their own and carefully placed that piano against the wall and used the same stand. I plan on returning next Sunday with my electric piano.

We went again to Monte Carlo on Friday night. Steffi G. was not there but Drew Proudfoot was and their Casio electric piano was available. I played three songs and plan to bring my own piano next time I am there. Drew mentioned that there is a jam Thursday nights in Newmarket that starts at 6:30pm and we plan on bring my piano there as well.

There was a duet with two guys on acoustic guitar. I recognized 'Along with Watch Tower'. Their harmonies were very nice.

There was a lady playing violin with a group later on that was very enjoyable.

Here I am back at the Monte Carlo Open Mic in Markham.
