Set up to the left of the pagoda |
My second trip to the spectacular Armour House in Lake Forest found me on the left side of the pagoda. It was workable, certainly, but I felt farther from the congregation, and I had to turn at an awkward angle to see the wedding party. Everyone was viewing the harp from the front, which is probably not the most attractive angle on a harp, but I think I am perhaps a little too worried about such things! Back in reality, it was another gorgeous day, and the beautiful bride choose Pachelbel's Canon in D for her wedding party's walk. It worked wonderfully. It is a very long song, and that is a fantastic attribute at the Armour House! I had plenty of music without making any repeats, and everyone was happy!
This bride also wanted me to play for her cocktail hour on the veranda, and I was delighted to do so. Guests sipped their champagne and watched the sunset while I played selections from the Great American Songbook by giants like Gershwin and Cole Porter. Just another beautiful evening at the Armour House!
