This weekend is the Tri-state area's 21st Fine Arts Sampler Weekend where more than 30,000 people are expected to attend more than 200 free arts events in over 70 locations. This year's theme is Fiesta, A Celebration of Rhythm.
While at the downtown library for another purpose, I heard music. I stopped to listen. Unlike the boy in the striped shirt who was very much at ease and an expressive piano player, the little girl had a case of stage fright. She sat silently on the bench. An adult from the audience, her mother, I think, came up and whispered something to her as she guided the little girl's hands to the keyboard. After a few more encouraging whispers and guiding, the little girl finally began to play.
Calligraphy class update. We have progressed from warm-up strokes to families of letters of which there are four. The first is based on "O," ocedgqs. Maybe, one or two O's on my practice page show promise ... practice, practice, practice.
