Belated 6/12 Faneuil Hall Report

I've been meaning to tell you how Faneuil Hall went for a little while now. One of the great things about watching Avi and Jonathan play is the interaction with the people, especially the kids. Lots of kids came up to Avi's vibes. He's too cool about it: often handing them a mallet and encouraging them to make music. One young boy started playing in the middle of a song and kept the beat wonderfully. Some kids are too shy to act on their whims.

The crowd was pretty thin. Perhaps because of the heat and humidity, people didn't stop to listen like they had during previous gigs.

Near the end, Avi played the amazing waltz he wrote for his friends' wedding. I waltzed, as did two other friends of Avi's. A couple from the audience joined us.

Apple Crisp's sound didn't carry like it had in the past. I could hear other musical acts over them and couldn't hear them on the other side of Quincy Market. Since I've listened to them several times now, I feel like when they ask how their balance is or something like that, I can give them a better informed answer.

Wander by when they're out playing sometime. It's really worth it. They're scheduled to be out there again on Wednesday (22) from 1-5 pm, Saturday (25) from 11-1, and Sunday (26) from 3-7. Check the calendar for future dates and times.
