Oh Walkie, you have pierced me to the heart! Surely you don't think I said 'blah blah' ?!    :)

To tell you the truth, I chickened out on 'Did you see my lady.' I felt it would last too long and it required the packing of another instrument. So I played a Norwegian hymn, 'In Heaven Above,' on the soprano instead. It's a jaunty tune and it went well as people shook hands and greeted one another.

Here's what I took:

guitar
guitar tuner
guitar pick
guitar neck strap
soprano recorder in bag
hymnal
copy of 'In Heaven Above' made on Noteworthy
special spectacles
bottle of lukewarm water
check for offering
cell phone


All this to participate in a service whose point is to meditate on the eternal verities and leave this busy world behind. So perhaps you can see why I didn't feel like packing another instrument.
