What a wonderful night! I can´t describe how happy I was tonight. Jeez Louise. I went out with Sylvia and we ate sunflower seeds in the park for about an hour. Then we walked around as usual and stopped in a little cafe infamous for its hot chocolate. All the bars and restaurants here are ANCIENT, Im talking made of stone... They are so incredible! Sylvia just started a new job working with Ryan air so she has to wake up really early. She walked me over to a bar called la Moha (short for Mohammed) and we said goodbye. This bar is the size of a small hallway. But sure enough, squished at the end of the hallway was Cano and Javier and some other man named manolo playing their bagpipe and accordions.
Yesterday cano recorded a couple songs for me and I spent all this morning learning them. He also made a list of stuff I already know, so when I got there we played for about an hour an a half, and it was all stuff I knew!! Every time we play Sandy boys (an old time tune) everyone goes wild... So we ended up playing it more than once. But everything we played was wonderful and I couldn't have felt more satisfied and content. Then, we left and went to a bar called Gramola. The Scottish guys I had met the other night were there and Gon and a couple other people I knew. As soon as we got there Cano pulled out his accordion and said, ¨Vale Molly, toca Sandy Boys otro vez!¨ So we played sandy boys and the Scottish guys had no idea where it came from. It was wonderful, we all played there for another hour or so, everyone was laughing and having a great time. It´s so normal for them so I couldn´t explain how delighted I was. Anyways, We left at about 1:30 in the morning and I literally couldn´t/can´t stop smiling. I´ve never played in sessions before, let alone been supported and appreciated like this! Thank you Dad for knowing and introducing me to these people! (and impressing them enough to make them want to keep me under their wing!) What a great evening in such a wonderful place :)
