Yesterday 30 Delta Strummers showed up to perform for the residents of an assisted-living facility in Antioch, CA. We've performed there 4 times in the past and, as usual, we had a very receptive audience, a number of whom joined in signing several of the songs. The only pictures I've received so far were rather poor.
We've performed multiple times at a number of assisted-living facilities in nearby towns, and continue to get asked to return. These performances and associated rehearsals, are a lot of fun, and help put an edge on our playing and singing.
One challenge we always face with these informal performances is that, although only 40-60% of the band show up, we max out the available space in several facilities. Yesterday we played in "a corner" of their dining room and were 'live' immediately after lunch. Made it a little tough to bring in 30 chairs and set up music stands, instruments, solo mic's/mixer and monitors without encroaching on their lunch.
