A good night

A lovely lady visited the patients with us today. She is interested in starting a chapter of Musicians on Call in her hospital down at Miami. It is wonderful to see a good idea spread. An idea that is simple, yet good.

Many enthusiastic listeners tonight, several requests, and a couple of encores. Someone also recorded me on their cell phone -- not generally welcome by a professional with perfectionist quirks, but I let it go. There were quite a few youths, so my Disney repertoire came in handy several times.

All in all, a good night -- not in the sense that I've made everyone feel better (no one can say that because then the patients would not be in the hospital) but we've done what we could, given the circumstances, given what we have.

And tomorrow is another day to do what we can, given the circumstances, giving what we have.
