Coffee Day 21st June 2010

Another terrific Coffee Day at George and Jean Watt's home in Milford. 26 of our members gathered to enjoy a lovely day of music, social chat, good food and glorious weather! It was great to have such a selection of instruments to play with a choice of: Technics GA3 organ; acoustic piano; Korg Pa1X keyboard (one brought along by Gordon Sutherland and one by Ken Mahy); Yamaha PSR-900 keyboard (brought along by Alan Wilkins); and a Yamaha DGX-620 digital piano (brought along by Colin Crann). Lots of keyboard playing, singing and jamming - it doesn't get much better than this. Thank you George and Jean for making your home available and for all the preparation work. Also, thanks to the ladies for helping Jean out in the 'galley'.
