ONLINE MUSIC:  COMMENTS FROM FALL PARTICIPANTS

• I really enjoyed Jamulus. It was the next best thing to actually playing with others surrounding you. The music was great in both sessions … it was a good mix.

• What a great job you are doing in keeping us going until we can get back together again in person. Thanks

• So so happy to have an opportunity to play with the gang !

• Many thanks for all the effort that has gone into making this happen. I don't know what I would have done otherwise.

• Thanks.  It has been challenging, educational and a lot of fun. I appreciate Brent's hard work and patience, both in teaching and dealing with technologically challenged individuals such as myself. 

• Really glad you decided to try this. Playing music has been an essential part of my "happiness plan" during these Covid days.

• Thanks for making this program happen . It was terrific. I think it’ll be even more important to enjoy through a Covid winter!

• I've enjoyed the more cheerful, upbeat selections - they are a real mood-booster.  And … nobody can hear me when I laugh out loud when I play wrong notes or it sounds awful.
