Day Two: Promenade
After an early lift by my Love, I was at the door of the Artez Conservatory even before ten ’o clock. Fortunately the door was open, the porter wanted to leave me in and the coffee machine delivered some nice hot coffee in exchange for 40 eurocents. The start of the workshops would take some time, so I had the opportunity to make my own open podium in the canteen. Guitar out of the case, and let’s start playing!
Just like last year, Elizabeth Day appeared while I was playing. This time no Ayres and Allemandes, but Dutch lute music by Nicolas Vallet: Onder een Linde Groen (the carillon player of the Grote Kerk of Enschede knows the tune too) and Slaep, Soete Slaep, as a little serenade to the jury and the organisers of the festival.
After the classics, there was some time left to practice some chords with one of the members of Group Yellow. The clock runs quick if you are enjoying yourself!
