Thread Name: BS: Share Your Peak Musical Experiences?
Subject: RE: BS: Share Your Peak Musical Experiences?
I guess it would have to be when I performed in Raleigh--it was one of only 3 performances I ever did. I played for the President and administrators of The North Carolina Community College Board, as well as well-respected artists/art teachers from all over North Carolina. I got to play my OWN song, "MacGregor's Gathering", a real footstomper, or so my composition teacher said. It was kinda fun knowing that other people were hearing my music...but really most of the listeners where seniors who perked up when my friends did their opera/operetta/art songs, and ignored me altogether. Not a happy day for others as well...it was the day of the Columbine High shooting. Not a nice thing to come home to, after visiting another part of the state for only the 3rd time in 20 years.
