Funny you should mention it .......we have a quartet party going right
now......violin, viola, cello (my wife) and piano - all excellent
professional musicians. I have opted to sit out and listen with a nice
glass of wine - this is starting at 7 PM and will conclude at 10 PM or so
when we all sit down and chat.......a weekly activity every Wednesday
during the summer! We even have a couple of people who will come over at
8 and will take turns on violin and viola - kind of like substituting in a
pickup basketball game.........so much fun!
