Great Engagement Party for Trey and Allison

Last night I played piano and sang for Trey and Allison's engagement party in Trey's parents' beautiful home (on their wonderful Yamaha Baby Grand :-).  I got to play/sing for about 4-1/2 hours, so I got to do a LOT of great music!  Along with some wonderful new love songs from different types of music, I got to play/sing a lot of the old "standards"; great love songs that have been done for the past 40-60 years. 

It was a special treat to have the future groom's grandfather (92 years young), Tony, there.  He played trumpet with several top-notch players/singers from yesteryear, and heard live many of the jazz/swing legends at places like the Apollo Theater and The Savoy!  I'd play a song (and sometimes he'd sing along, or sing a cool trumpet part that he used to play) and he'd tell me things like, "I heard Count Basie and his orchestra play that live years ago..." - WOW! 

Thanks to Alan and Lauretta for having me play/sing, and congrats to Trey and Allison!
