My sister held her first paid ticket recital today in Rimbey, Alberta for mothers day this year. It was, I think, an unqualified success. Megan was in good form playing through a couple hour set of a variety of different styles of music. We sold 33 tickets at $12 a piece, plus a number of donations -- all of which is money that will be helping finance her upcoming trip to Ireland later this summer. Why was the recital in Rimbey you ask? Well my grandparents moved (back) there a month ago or so and they are really quite good about getting word out about Megan's upcoming gigs. So they helped organize Megan's first ticketed recital. I'm glad that it went well for her! So she was able to play through her pieces to a captive audience. Afterwards we went out to dinner as a family to celebrate mother's day (and the successful recital).

If you're interested in seeing Megan play, she has an upcoming recital in Edmonton sometime soon. I don't have the date just yet, but if you want to know when it is leave me a comment or an email and I'll make sure I get the chance to sell you a ticket!
