Sep 15 (By Jeremy Snyder)

With the timing of our concert moved from 3:00pm to an evening show at 7pm, everyone had a lot more free time to do as they pleased. Some slept in after a later night of singing to various hits if the 70, 80, and 90's making for a lot of good fun and cheer. Others enjoyed a light breakfast of hard boiled eggs, toast and some welcomed coffee.
Lester, our bus chauffeur took us all in for a short ride into town. Another beautiful day to share quality time with friends whether that be taking in some shopping, enjoying fish and chips, clam chowder, dipping your toes into the ocean, or even cruising around in a convertible Mustang.
Off to the concert at the Alexander Graham Bell museum to setup and warm up. After a significant hiccup where our keyboard decided it wasn't going to participate, Natalie after making a few frantic phone calls was able to obtain a keyboard from the local Baptist Church as a 'divine rental'. Working behind the scenes both Dave and Paul ran to the hardware store to get a soldering iron to 'MacGyver' / fix our keyboard enough for the concert. With significant skill they managed to repair it so we were able to switch out the keyboard again just before to concert.
We were received well with a packed crowd and delighted our audience. Great job to all that helped bring this concert to fruition.
What a delight to be treated to a seafood dinner from the concert hosts afterwards at the curling club. Great food and fellowship was had by all.
