Amy and I are currently in Riviera Maya on the Yucatan. We performed last evening at the Fairmont Mayakoba for an enthusiastic audience of 500, who sang, laughed, danced and rose to their feet in appreciation 4 times throughout the show. Needless to say, we had a blast, although we were a little panicked at one point.
Toward the end of our first act, I noticed that my harmonica, which I pre-set during our sound check, was missing. This doesn't sound like it would be a big deal except that my harmonica is a key part of our closing number, so much so that without it we can't do it. During intermission the event and hotel staff got busy trying to locate my mouth harp. It wasn't until Amy and I were being escorted back to the stage that one of the hotel staff approached with a smile grande and harmonica in hand. Someone had moved it after our sound check from its pre-set spot on my piano to a hidden location inside the piano underneath the music stand. Since we perform with the lids down there was no way, sans x-ray vision, to have located it during the show. What a relief!
We finished up our second act and smiles abounded. Our client was ecstatic. Their guests uber-happy. And Amy and I so thankful to be able to be together doing something we love that touches people's lives.
Today we're off and getting ready to bask in the sun on the shores of the Caribbean. It's a more than welcome change from a very rainy, grey season we've been experiencing back home. God is good.
