There were only a few diners lingering, and they teasingly prodded us to get up and sing with good natured and talented piano player, Charlie Jamieson. I declined, insisting that the only tunes I knew were by either Elmo or The Wiggles. Jessica, however, was a good sport and surprised the small crowd with a fine rendition of "Misty." One of the best things about going out of-town with girlfriends is the opportunity to let your hair down and be a bit silly. It's always a treat to hear live music, to sip wine and nibble pie with a good friend and to simply alter the pace at which life propels us from day to day.
We hadn't intended to shut the place down, but we felt so relaxed and at home that we stayed until Charlie packed up his sheet music for the night.
