Good people

Ernst Heimes reading at Sunday's Rottenburger Sommerabend - For some reason Tuesday is not mentioned in the Press reports, but it was a good night - really!
Just got back in after the Rottenburg Sommerabende gig tonight – what a privilege to play for such nice people, in such a lovely location, and for such a nice cause. The people who organise this: Ernst Heimes and Sabine Huber, do a super job, and their interest and enthusiasm is infectious. I arrived a little late – unusual for me, but I thought the gig started at 19:30, and I got there straight from work just after 19:00, thinking I had a little time to prepare – WRONG! I was ushered in, my equipment was carried with me and I was introduced and applauded, and sat at the front with the guest readers all inside 2 mins!
I had drunk too much coffee this afternoon, and despite my jitteriness and dry mouth, and no time for a toilet break before the start, I managed to sing – did a good job I think, and the evening was a success. Afterwards the ‘team’ retired to the Bistro, and a good time was had by all. Can’t wait for the next one!
