Ah....Friday......MUSIC night!

Anticipating the scent of gingersnaps, she steps into the old kitchen. Oh! Chocolate chip tonight!

From the other room, strains of "Whiskey Before Breakfast" beckon...There, a circle of friends, old and new, brought together by love of music, are bowing, picking, strumming, toe-tapping.

Setting her case on the floor, she takes a seat in the circle. A few faces look up, smiling their welcome. Others are intent on fingering, oblivious to anything other than keeping up.

One foot in the circle raises momentarily, a few more bars, then satisfied smiles all around. Ah....Friday night!
