Sophia Nightowl I'm very intrigued by the appearance of a "Special Guest" with @Sophia

You know me, could be animal, mineral, vegetable, admiral or general. You'll find out soon enough, until then, I'm leaving you in suspenders 🤪

Haha I know exactly what is coming! 😉

It is one of her cats. Either Simba or the adult kittens, Sandy or Lionel. But it could also be the kitten toy keyboard. Or a hand puppet like the one in her tap dancer video. Her husbands plays bagpipe, maybe she is doing a duet with him. And I wouldn't be surprised if she got a drummer monkey:

Ahhh, come on Sophia, what is it?🤬🤬🤬
Who is your guest???🤯

      WieWaldi Who is your guest???

      No more hints. Now you will have to be patient for only 295 hours 34 minutes and maybe a few seconds more

        Nice strong end to the weekend!

        Looking forward to everyone's performance!

          Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to make this recital. It’s caught me at an awkward time where I’m currently in the middle of learning two new pieces. I look forward to seeing the other submissions though!

          I tuned my piano and recorded this weekend, lots of hard work, but I have no idea if it will pan out.

          Anyone else still planning to participate? There's less than a week left!

          rogerch Seems like I have a few more usable takes to choose from than I originally thought!

          I was sure I had made many mistakes during the actual recording, but I don't even notice them on playback. I'm sure I fuddled the pedal more than once. I just have to pick a take now. 🙂

          Hmm... should I pick the hat version or the no-hat version? 🎩

          Sadly, I made some basic mistakes on the video footage... I should have known better, a tiny bit more of effort would have gone a long way to avoiding the problems, but I got a bit negligent with the stress of setup and recording with limited time and didn't do proper test shots.

          Oh well! I'll made do. I have a ton of work to put it all together now. 😃

          Come on everyone, there's still time to get your performances in!

              navindra Yay! I’m glad you’re in! You’re the host so we need you at the party!

              If the takes are equally good musically, I vote for the one with the hat!

                  I vote for the hat! The hat the hat the hat! You are sooo ultra cool with that hat 😂 ok you are ultra cool at any time, but I didn't want your head to get too big for the cool hat

                    navindra Hmm... should I pick the hat version or the no-hat version? 🎩

                    Always the hat!

                      See? I'm not the only one who is unanimous in that 🤣
