Forwarded Dear Family and Friends Who Enjoy My Playing ,
This is one, and only one, time that I'm going to attempt to do
something I've only experimented with in a phone conference. I confess
my motive is selfish (somewhat), but I'm hungry for an audience to
play for till I can get back to work before people face to face. But
what I'm doing, I'm only planning to do once. Tomorrow evening at 8:00
Eastern (7:00 here), I'm going to do something like I do at the hotel
where I frequently play-or have played till the "pandemoniac" struck.
You're invited to come in. Only during the more serious numbers,
please don't talk, as others want to listen, I'm sure. During the
comedy routines I do, feel free to laugh (or boo). The laughter only
energizes me, as does applause-only it's hard to applaud with a phone
in your hand. OK, here's how to get in. Call the following Free
Conference number: 425-436-6344. You might get a busy signal or have
problems at first, but keep trying. Once you get in, you'll be prompted
to enter the pass code: 140302, followed by the pound key-the one to
the right of the 0 key. You'll be prompted to announce yourself; say
your name and you're in. While you're in the call, you can mute or
unmute by pressing Star 6. (The Star is to the left of the 0 key.)
Also, these conference lines are rather temperamental, so we all need
to not be so hasty to chime in; wait till one party's finished
talking. And please, no cursing, gossiping, foul language, dirty jokes
or any of that. I'm here to play and you to react, respond-in short,
have some good fun with me. I hope we can laugh a little, too. Once
I'm in as the host, I'll allow maybe fifteen minutes for people to
straggle in, as they do at worship all the time. Then at a quarter
past the hour, I'll ask one or two to pray briefly about the evening,
and voila! We're good to go. I probably will only be on for an hour and
a half or at most, two. And you can come and go as you need to. For
you sighted friends, there will be some blind friends who conference
with me on this number two or three times a week, and I'm believing
some of them will be on. My Sharon used to call them my "harem"-though
we've had another fellow show up a time or two, though I wish more
gentlemen show up! These have been my phone "fans", as a couple of you
locals here have been my local "fans". Please keep these instructions,
as I won't give them again. And if you can come, please do. I'd love
to have you with me tomorrow. We will take requests, and the program
will be fairly light-some classical, a bit of comedy, sacred,
standards, whatever (though I don't know a lot of today's stuff, and
so much of it ain't piano-friendly in my book.) OK nuff said. Will I
see you tomorrow? Fellow Music Lover,
Dunc
