Good morning Natasha and Happy New Year to you and Ibarra!. Thank you for responding to my request. The last time my wife and I were in Ajijic (Feb. 2020) we attended a theatre production of My Fair Lady and there was a "little older than me" woman whom I chatted with while she was playing American Songbook standards in the lobby. Might that woman have been you? Small world if it was! If not I'm sure you probably know who it was.
Your Knabe piano sounds great! At home I play on a 1919 Bechstein grand I had totally reconditioned but for the past few months I've been rehearsing with a quartet on a high end electric with some nice Rhodes sounds. The venue we're giving a concert at on Jan. 20 (poster below) doesn't have an acoustic piano. I'm the smallest guy in the poster pic and couldn't get anyone to help me shlep my Bechstein BTW, playing music was never my primary source of income but I've gigged a fair bit over the years.
If you'd like to contact me through email I can be reached at shabason@sympatico.ca. My cell no. is 416-3468274 but will be getting a Mexican SIM card once we arrive in Ajijic. The week before we'll be at an all inclusive resort in Cancun with our kids and grandchildren. Also....both my wife and I had our most recent Pfizer boosters in Dec.
Thanks again. Looking forward to meeting and playing with you and your husband in sunny Ajijic!
