Recently my friends Sue, Linda and I went to a Gamelon
afternoon in Belfast. Now let me tell
you we had no idea what we were going to but as all 3 of us are up for a laugh and
adventure, off we set. It turned out to be
an afternoon of playing different Indonesian instruments. There was a group of older people who turned up on the wrong day however we all joined in and it was tremendous fun. I have a short VIDEO of us all playing for you to hear!

Many thanks for visiting and also all your comments.
It looks like a heap of fun.
ReplyDeleteI can remember a teacher bringing a selection in for us to play in school. Not musical precisely, but we enjoyed it.
An afternoon with a difference - looks as though you are having a great time - such fun :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret. This looks like such a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThis group sounded great in the video. They must be accomplished percussion players.
ReplyDeleteLooks like great fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat an assortment of instruments. Did you have a favorite?
ReplyDeleteNothing like some cross cultural fun! I showed up to a wedding on the wrong day and there was a wedding going on so I still thought I was good ..... till the bride came down the isle .... wrong bride! Oops!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Margaret, what a hoot! You all actually sounded good and what fun that had to be. I would love an adventure like that . A beautiful experience for sure ...

This looks like fun! And learning about new and different instruments.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like fun!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret!
ReplyDeleteI see that well you play.
Great relationship.
Greetings.
Lovely exposures--- beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to spend time with you and your friends - you always seem to have such great adventures!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! What a great group to participate together.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Margaret. Were the ladies supposed to be playing a certain song or just what their mind told them to play? I would call their 'song' "A Study in Hodge Podge." The surely were enjoying themselves.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late coming here. I missed Teresa's 7PM cutoff because we were still traveling from Louisiana, coming back to Houston (Katy), Texas. We have been visiting a cousin this weekend, she is 92, who doesn't have internet in her home. We did get e-mail in church Sunday.
Needless to say I was also with lots of elderly persons. I asked one if she were in Mary's (our cousin) class of Sunday school. She said something that I could not understand. The next thing I knew she was telling that I had asked her if she were married (she wasn't).
